Favorite Myth or Fairy Tale

I found it difficult to think back at my favorite myth or fairy tale. My favorite stories as a kid where always more modern. In terms of more classic fare, I loved the Disney movies of Robin Hood and Sword in the Stone, and I also liked the Sam Neil miniseries, 'Merlin', and the Mel Brooks Robin Hood. I always found Merlin to be interesting, not so much Arthur. Merlin shaped Arthur into who he was to be. In the Disney version he turned him into animals and let him examine life from a different perspective. For Robin Hood, I liked the characters. Robin Hood was a soldier that returned home to find it under oppressive rule and did something to change it. I am always struck by any story where there are annoying tyrants or fascists that need to be taken down, but Robin Hood had two and they were both intriguing characters. Besides those two I have also had an interest in the more darker underworld side of Greek mythology, looking up lesser known gods like Moros the god of doom, and Thanatos the god of Death. Now that I ahve written this out I think Merlin is my favorite myth. I think i was that he aged slow and saw how everyone around him failed and saw so much.
