Reference Websites

Lindemans, M.F., ed.  “Greek Mythology.”  Encyclopedia Mythica.  Website. 

A comprehensive - browseable and searchable - online encycopedia about Greek mythology.  Explore 627 articles about Greek gods and goddesses, ordinary (some extraordinary) mortals, and exotic locations!           



“Winged Sandals.”  University of Melbourne’s Centre for Classics and Archaeology.  Website.

"Hi, I’m Hermes, and I’ll be your guide through Olympus…”  Interact with ancient Greece by watching video stories about popular myths, learning how to create Greek crafts at home, asking the oracle to predict your future, and much, much more! 

Athena's Wisdom:  To use Encyclopedia Mythica, enter a term in the search box and find specific information or browse through Greek deities or mortals.  Encyclopedia Mythica includes an article to support any project.  Be careful, though—after you search, make sure you click on the Encyclopedia Mythica entry and not the Google ad.
If you are looking for a more interactive presentation of Greek mythology, try Winged Sandals.  The “Who’s Who” section includes over 100 entries on gods, mortals, and monsters.  Scroll through the lists of articles or enter a term in the “Who’s Who” search box.  When you are done researching, ask the Delphic Oracle a question about your future ... just for fun!
