Mythology

Here are some Resources you may want to look at.

I am including a link here to an online book that tells many of the legends.  The online book is called Bullfinch’s Mythology and it can be downloaded FREE from the link.  Bulfinch is one of the most accepted resources about mythology.

Meet some of the ancient heros
Perseus He is only one of the heroes we meet in Greek mythology.
You probably already know a lot about Hercules.

If you are interested in more, check out any these pages on the genealogy of the Gods.
