Mythology Books

Bullfinch's Mythology is available at Project Gutenburg
Edith Hamilton "Mythology"
Robert Graves "The Greek Myths"
also try Robert Graves "The White Goddess" for a denser look at poetic codes in mythology
George Frazer "The Golden Bough" is available at Project Gutenburg
Anything and everything by Joseph Campbell is good.

I don't know if you're studying Greek Mythology for the classical literary value, for fun, or for anthropological research here...

Homer "The Oddessy" is available at Project Gutenburg, and here's a link to my copy

File:The Odyssey.pdf
Length:1672349 Bytes,1633KB
UUHash:=PkMx9D63DHQiJs5Hn79+JFMMEU0=

Also avaialabe at P.G. should be Homers "The Illiad" and Virgil's "The Anead"
Try looking in P.G. for Ovid, Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, Pthagoras, and Ptolemy as well.

Also, a good place to look for texts on mythology is http://www.sacred-texts.com/

Hope this helps.

Believe me it has been made after a lot of research.
Just try it once.

I've played it.

But I wouldn't go nearly so far as to say it has everything about Greek mythology in it. It has some names.

Actually, if you read the biographics of each of the "heroes", it has a short passage basically detailing the legend of which each is associated with.

In essence, it's "Greek Mythology for Dummies" - But instead of pop-up, it's play-up ;)

Well, it&#39;s a much cleaned up and abbreviated version. ;) If you want the "real" stuff, you&#39;d have to look elsewhere. Had to keep its T rating, I guess.

True dat - But it satisfies those who just want the stories.

The ones wanting more can then research the mythology more using what they&#39;ve learnt in AoM ;)
