I started this trail by trying to see if I could get from the general topic of Hindu Mythology to one of the specific stories I wrote about, or maybe even Wonder Woman. I couldn't quite get there in four clicks, but I still got to read some pretty interesting things.
First, Hindu Mythology:
The article recognizes that a predominant characteristic of Hindu (or Indian) Mythology is how all of the stories have so many different manifestations and are influenced by so many different things. The dominant school of thought at that point in history, who translated the story, whether it was written or passed on orally - all of these are factors in the sometimes wildly different stories about the same characters.

| These were some pretty sketches of unnamed stories on the Hindu Mythology page. |
This page gave a very interesting history of the origins of mythology that Western-raised people might be more familiar with. It does a good job of comparing similar deities across mythical traditions.
Next, I got to Thor:
This page is probably pretty obvious content-wise, but it was fun to read through to learn about all the different histories of Thor and the different role he's been said to play.
From there, I got to Superheroes:
This page talks about all the modern superheroes, as well as the development of them briefly before the 40's, but mostly decade by decade from the 40's onward.
Finally, I got to Wonder Woman!!:
I'm a little surprised I was able to get to her in only five clicks. I'm sure there's a way to cut at least one of them out, but for now I'm happy with this! This page is full of the history of the most fantastic superhero out there, and definitely worth a read.
