This superb site describes itself as "a site exploring Greek mythology and the gods in classical literature and art. The aim of the project is to provide a comprehensive, free reference guide to the gods(theoi), spirits(daimones), fabulous creatures(theres), and heroes of ancient Greek mythology and religion."
