greek myth
Greek mythology is there in every part of ancient Greek culture - art, religion, literature, daily life - even philosophy. And so there aren't any pages specifically about "mythology" on this site. Instead this page will try to show you where you can locate aspects of it.
- Atalanta (the girl athlete who could beat all the men)
- Cassandra (she saw the future all too clearly, but no one believed her)
- Cupid & Psyche (Fiction rather than myth - the beauty trap)
- Diana & Actaeon (Beware of seeing a naked goddess)
- Echo and Narcissus (Careless talk costs...)
- Helen of Troy (the beautiful freak)
- Iphigeneia (her father killed his daughter rather than face embarrassment with his friends)
- Jason & Medea (when love goes ..)
- Pandora (curiosity kills)
- The Sphinx (what was her riddle?)
- Heracles and the Nemean Lion
- Tiresias (the man who became a woman ...)
