| Title: | Greek mythology link |
|---|---|
| Description: | The Greek Mythology Link is a vast online repository of detailed information on Greek myths. Created by Carlos Parada, it is based partly on his book 'Genealogical Guide to Greek Mythology' (Jonsered, 1993), and thus pays particular attention to the relationships of mythical characters with one another. It bases its information on primary sources, all of which are collated in the bibliography. The site consists of key sections which cover the following: 'Biographies' (outlining the roles, deeds and relationships of the gods, men, women, personifications and monsters in the mythical stories); 'Groups' (referring to the collectives which populate Greek mythology); 'Places and Peoples' (on the mythical history of cities and regions that feature in Greek mythology, such as Corinth, Troy and Ionia, as well as the Underworld), an extensive dictionary of mythological characters and places; a catalogue of images (primarily showing pictures of post-classical illustrations and sculptures dealing with the ancient myths). There are also illustrated essays on the myths in general, divinities, events, and a section of varia, including 'Murders', 'Life and Deeds of the Pelopides' and 'Disney's Hercules and Original Hercules compared'. The site is fully searchable and each page contains hyperlinks which direct the reader to other relevant articles within the resource. Justifiably, the site has received a number of awards, and should be a primary resource for anyone interested in Greek mythology and its reception in modern times. |
