Here are some useful links (and collections of links) for the study of Mythology: Classical Myth: The Ancient Sources: This site is maintained by Laurel Bowman, a professor at the University of Victoria. It is a very helpful collection of images and primary source texts about ancient Greek gods and heroes, focused around individual figures. So, if you are researching Apollo (for example), you can call up primary source descriptions of him and his exploits, together with images from ancient art. A great research tool! The Perseus Project: This University maintained site is an excellent starting point for any investigation of the Greek and Roman world. It has a library of texts and images, as well as many other features helpful for research (and some even entertaining). Greco-Roman Myth: A hodgepodge of interesting sites linked from About.com. You may also want to try their links for Egyptian myth, Gilgamesh, and Norse myth. Librarian's Choice: Mythology: The Digital Librarian chooses the best myth-related websites available. Mythology on the Ancient Worldwide Web: This site provides a collection of links to various sites on different kinds of mythology. There are some interesting things here, but be advised that it is a real jumble -- you find scholarly sites and wackos side by side (gee, just like the real world . . .) If you use these in research, check the credentials of each site before you take its word as law. But there are also some gems . . . Classics and Mediterranean Archeology: Another University maintained website, with a mindboggling array of sites devoted to Classical and Mediterranean archeology. There are some serious scholarly tools here! A great resource for serious research.
