GUIDE TO MYTHOLOGY
If you are in one of my English 101 or 102 classes, you may find the following
resources handy as you study the Iliad, the Odyssey, etc.
Mythology
in Western Art. I like this web site because it gives you pictures.
Most of the pictures are of art depicting the gods of ancient Greece, so
you can see how people have visualized Zeus, Poseidon, and the rest of
the gang.
Electronic
Resources for Classicists. This is a site that will point your way
to all things classic on the internet. It's Back to the Future on the Information
Highway. "Roads? Where we'll be going, we don't need roads!"
