Greek mythology, as in other ancient cultures, was used as a means to explain the environment in which humankind lived, the natural phenomena they witnessed and the passing of time through the days, months, and seasons.
Written to “teach mythology not as a study but as a relaxation from study,” these ageless volumes span the ages: from the Olympus of Zeus and the Valhalla of Thor, to the Round Table of King Arthur and the escapades of Robin Hood.
The aim of the site is to provide a comprehensive, free reference guide to the gods (theoi), spirits (daimones), creatures (theres) and heroes of ancient Greek mythology and religion.
