Mythology links around the Web

Note: This page is seldom under construction!!

I actually got around to doing something else with this page. I've compiled a short list of stories behind the constellations. Take a look.

One of my favorite pasttimes is to go outside at night and stare up at the stars. My fascination with the night sky, trying to learn the constellations, caused a great interest in me to learn the myths and stories behind the constellations. I don't have much here yet, but I hope to have more myths and legends here in the future. For now, here's a few links that I found to other sites that have information on mythology.

Mythology in Western Art. There's lots of gifs here to grab based on the Olympian gods.
This site has mostly Hercules stories.
MYTHTEXT, home of the Rough and Ready Guide to the Gods, a huge listing of dieties from around the world. Also has pointers to find various mythological works on the Net.
A site with classic works, including the Iliad and the Aeneid.
A site with various information on Greek mythology. I rather like his family trees.
Myths & Legends. Appears to be based for children. Basic info, lots of graphics, and a bewildering structure.
The Ancient World Web, a compendium of sites about ancient times, including some about mythology.
Island, a site that has info on the folklore and mythology of Ireland.
Have you heard of the syndicated television program, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys? Well, they've got a Web site that, along with info about the show, also has some brief information about some of the Greek gods.
Myths and Legends. This site is something akin to this page, only bigger and more diverse. Lots of links to sites around the Web.
A work in progress, but one that I'm anxious to see finished, Classical Mythology HQ. Some of the links still don't have anything associated with them, but others do, so try everything!
The mythical merfolk have found a home at Sea Tails Online.
Egyptian Mythology FAQ.
alt.mythology, the newsgroup dedicated to this very topic.

Here's a few others that I thought interesting, but they don't quite deal with mythology. Consider this the miscellaneous catagory.

Labyrinth, a guide to medieval studies.
Fascinated by tales of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table like I am? Check out Avalon: Arthurian Heaven.

I'm working on trying to find others. If you know of any WWW sites on mythology that I don't have listed, please let me know! My email address is jmilne@iastate.edu
