Theoi

I came across a good-looking site dedicated to Greek Mythology the other day (thanks to rogueclassicum). It's called Theoi (Greek for 'gods') and has lots of good stuff on all kinds of gods, heroes and mythological creatures, beautifully illustrated from ancient pottery, mosaics and statuary. I've added it as a link on the right, and if you click on the links below you can check out some of the more interesting articles for yourself.

• Hera (also known as Juno)
• Heracles (aka Hercules)
• Nike (goddess of victory)
• Hygeia (goddess of hygeine)
• Hippocampi (half horse, half fish)

It even has an article on the bizarrely fearsome Hippalektryon - half horse, half chicken.
