This site is still under a large amount of scaffolding. Be patient please.
Aug 2004 - I'm still doing updates very slowly, 340 entries now by my (probably flawed) count.
May 2004 - The release of Troy seems to be doing great things for my hit count! Most searched for phrase is apparently - "Who killed Achilles?" - they actually managed to get that one right ;0) Its even inspired me to to do some updates, not many but a few.

This site mainly deals with Greek myth and is layed out as a sort of encyclopedia. The myths are all listed seperately, so if you just want to read the stories, you can do so. All the entries on people will be cross referenced to the full myths.

Encyclopedia
There is currently only one summary page, The Immortals, but there will be more. The main encyclopedia generally has a page per letter, and there are currently well over 300 entries. You can start at A and work you're way through or use the contents page to jump to a specific person using the index. Currently only letters A - N and P are approximately finished, sorry about any broken links, they're being sorted slowly.

Myths
The information contained on these pages are from a range of sources, from poets and writers of ancient Greece, to modern textbooks. All are credited on the relavent pages.
