MythCon 2016

MythCon 2016, a scifi and literature convention, is held August 5-8, 2016, and takes place in San Antonio, TX. The theme of the 47th annual Mythopoeic Conference is inspired by the 60th anniversary of C.S. Lewis’s Till We Have Faces and The Last Battle; this year we focus on the mythology that has shaped and “given faces” to so many of our beloved characters, ranging from the myths of the Ancient Greeks to the legends of the Middle Ages and even to the modern mythology of the American Southwest. Similarly, this mythological influence is also evident in the works of many of our favorite mythopoeic authors, from J.R.R. Tolkien to J.K. Rowling, from Ursula K. Le Guin to Alan Garner, and many, many more.
