Greek Mythology

During the previous days, some technical problems occured to the website and it was not working properly. My apologies for any inconveniences this might have cause. It seems that now the problems have been fixed, please contact me should you still see some "bugs". Thank you very much!

I want to thank my website's visitors for the nice responses and critics I receive from time to time. My special thanks go to Loren Crispell who corrected following point today, concerning the theogony: Ouranos, the Titan of the Skies, wasn't swallowing his children as I had written, but was just pushing them back into the womb of his wife Gaea. The mistake is now corrected, I am sorry for the wrong information I had published.

Some months ago I visited the "Staatliche Antikensammlungen" Museum in Munich, the city I have been born and raised up and I was really astonished at how the Germans are into Greek culture! So I decided to make use of my german language skills and add a german version of the website. For all german speaking- or german learning- people, here is the link of the german version: www.greek-gods.info/deutsch/ I hope you will enjoy your reading and please keep me informed should you see any mistakes, since it 's been years I haven't practized my german. Thanks a lot! PS Until now, I have managed to only translate part of the whole website, but I am adding content to the german version every day. Please be patient and stay tuned. Evie

About two weeks ago I started collecting information concerning the use of mythology in everyday life, just to realize that it is actually much more difficult task than I expected. It's actually a very broad topic that requires a whole lot of research, from a wide range of sources. To keep it short, I think it will still take a while to finish this section. Hopefully it will be around November. Meanwhile, I keep updating my website with various myths about the Greek deities, a task that is less time-consuming, since most myths I know of since my childhood. Every day I am adding at least one new myth, focusing on the Olympian gods. So stay tuned. Thanks for your understanding :)

The more I delve into greek mythology, the more amazed I get by how much some aspects of greek mythology still apply nowadays- both in Greece and worldwide. So I am going to start a new section next week, when I will hopefully have finished my research on the greek deities' symbols. In this section, I will focus on modern customs and sayings of everyday life that have their roots in greek mythology. I am then planning to expand this section with a list of famous people/celebrities that are named after greek gods, along with a brief description and links to official resources of them. Feel free to comment on this thoughts of mine, your opinion is precious and more than welcome!

In the long run, the texts I am composing for the greek deities start getting bigger and bigger and I feel that they slowly become hard to read through. This applies especially to screen reading, where studying is more tiresome and you need to find information more instantly. Today I made the first step and, for each olympian god's info, I separated his/her genealogy into a paragraph itself. When I have finished, the next thing I am going to do will be creating a separate paragraph for each god's symbols as well. I hope this helps you too. Happy reading!

There are so many ideas I have for this website... One the one hand, I want to add more, much more content- mythology is such a broad topic that I guess http://www.greek-gods.info/ will never be 100% complete... On the other hand, I hate having a "one-way" website- I want some interactivity in it. So yesterday I decided to leave the content part for a while and to add a chatroom to it. ( http://www.greek-gods.info/chat ) Now that I think it over, I don't know whether a chatroom is really suitable for this website, but let's give it a try and time will tell.
