Mythcon 16 - A Kinship Of Dancers: Interplay In The Lives And Works Of Lewis, Tolkien, And Williams, The Mythopoeic Society

Mythcon Programs

Welcome to Mythcon XVI! This event is the result of fourteen years of hope and vision on the part of Society Founder Glen GoodKnight. But hope and vision only get you so far. Two years ago, our all-volunteer committee began the process of bringing Mythcon to the Midwest. In that time, we have learned to appreciate Murphy's insights, particularly when he asserts that nothing is as easy as it looks. Mythcon XVI has been a lot of work but in every sense, it's been a labor of love and we're glad you are here to be a part of it.
