OGL Ancients: Mythological resources

[E Nicely]

Does anyone know of any website that has the tales of the ancient Greek and Egyptian myths? Condensed versions would be great, but I'll take what I can get.

Now assuming you are not looking for this, my personal favourite book of all time (along with its companion volume):

Motifs of Folklore

I'd suggest this:

Edith Hamilton's Mythology

and probably this:

The Dictionary of Classical Mythology

Or if you are a completist:

Funk & Wagnalls Standard Dictionary of Mythology


Shannon


Yes, I know they are not websites. But you cannot, and I do mean cannot, go wrong as a gamer investing a bit into your classical education. Every technique we use in RPGs derives directly from Homer and the assorted Greek myths.

Try these:

and

http://www.pantheon.org/mythica.html

enjoy

Thanks skalvar. I'll bet I can find some of those at the trusty Used Bookstore (a whole 2 blocks from my house). Excellent online stuff, Command Performance. Much appreciated.
