Massive Multiplayer Crossover: Difference between revisions

== Mythology and Religion ==

* The ''[[Argonautica]]'' (a.k.a. ''Jason and the Argonauts'') by Apollonius of Rhodes (3rd century BCE) is one of the very first Massive Multiplayer Crossovers, arranged in what would become a fairly classic method—basically throwing one or two dozen heroes from various separate Greek myth cycles together on a boat with a common mission. This of course makes the Massive Multiplayer Crossover [[Older Than Feudalism]].

* According to some religious studies texts, this has also gone on in many, ''many'' other myths: the most notable involve various saints meeting each other. This goes on even today.

* [[King Arthur|Arthurian Myth]] formed this way, starting with stories about a Celtic chieftain and slowly incorporating other works into itself, including ''[[Sir Gawaine and the Green Knight]]'' and an entire cycle of French poetry that introduced Lancelot.
