Yeah, I've got some of those posts, too. If Alchemy's under 
symbolism, I suppose the Bible should be too, though for the moment 
I'm ticking religious influences and symbolism. A separate box for 
the Bible under symbolism would mean fewer posts coded to these 
general themes. Or should we still tick religious influences?

Since The Adenoid has a named author I would put it under 'literary 
classics', reserving myth/legend for unattributed traditional 
stories. At least, if I were specifically looking for it, I'd look 
under Literary Classics first.
