Yanno, I think I was about 12 when I first read that compendium of Greek Mythology tales. (Bullfinch's?) And I was reading Andre Norton by then, too. Isaac Asimov, Heinlein, Clark... I'd seen Frankenstein, The Wolfman, The Mummy, and who knows how many 50's B movies with mutants, giant ants, grasshoppers, crabs, spiders and whatever else.
One has to wonder how someone can be so sheltered in today's world, especially with Teh Intarwehbs available to fill that void between their ears.
