Greek Mythology

Hello! Well, it's really really hot here in Greece, but I still am in the city because I am very into my mythology project. So, with the help of some "submarine" (that's a greek candy-like spoon sweet, dipped in a glass of ice-cold water) to keep me fresh, I am writing and writing, posting pictures, correcting sometimes... Today I went to the Archaeological Museum of my hometown Piraeus (that's the harbor of Athens), because I was really curious how the neighbourhood my grandmother was from ("Apollo Piraeus"), got its name... In the Museum I found the answer. Look above, that's the legendary "Apollo from Piraeus", dating back to the 4th century BC. Looks like Apollo was very popular in our region :). But the museum had a lot more to offer. I was impressed by the many interesting sculptures, especially the bronze ones, and how well they are preserved. Here is a link to the official website of the museum. And since this summer we are revi...

Hello , now that we had Easter holidays in Greece I finally found the time to add some interactivity to the site and made a flash puzzle related to the Olympian gods. Here is the link . I hope you have fun! Should you find any bugs (I am sure there are plenty) please email me! Thanks a lot Evie

Hello from a slightly cooler Athens, I found a very nice tool on the web and decided to give it a try. It's called AnswerTips from www.answers.com and creates small information bubbles on every word of the website when double clicked. I hope you like it.

Greetings from a very hot Athens, I like websites having interactivity, be it in form of forums, chats or quizzes...whatever- and having an educational website, I thought including quizzes in it would be an interesting, challenging option . So now that its high summer in Greece (which means everything is quiet and cozy and there is not much work to do as a teacher), and after some relaxing days at the beach, I finally found the time and strength to develop the first mythology quiz. I hope you like the idea just like me, since there are more quizzes to come soon! Now click on http://www.greek-gods.info/quiz/ and take part. Good luck!!

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
