Ok I've read random stories... and came across some Greek myths
about Echo and Narcissus, Aphrodite etc.
They were really interesting stories... and I'd like to read more
but where do I start... reading?? Is there an order to how you read the stories?
and what is a good website for these things...??
[[[[best website[s]/information will be chosen as best answer]]]]
I'm interested in reading about Greek Mythologies... but where do I begin...?? [any good websites??]?
Begin with books not websites since most of the mythology websites use summaries taken from books anyway !
Your local library should have a mythology and folklore section and check religion also?
If your school or town branch has limited stock ask the librarian if they can do inter library loans from a central depository if they are linked to one?
If you don't mind reading older versions there are many etexts you can download from sites like Project Gutenberg or the Internet Sacred Text Archive.
Don't settle for one paragraph summaries when you can read the original fuller versions!
The better Wikipedia pages will include bibliographies ... book lists for further reading!
Last but not least
Primary Sources:
Homer's Iliad and Odyssey The Homeric Hymns Hesiod's Theogony and Works and Days Apollodorus' Epitome also called the Library Ovid's Metamorphoses Graves Greek Myths and Legends Bulfinch's and Hamiltons books.
Books! BOOKS! Books! Read them!
