This site is an encyclopedia of mythology, folklore, and legend, and it presents
an extensive variety of cultures, from Aztec to Latvian. The information available

Greek mythology. The Bestiary site lets you look through a variety of beasts,
and the Heroes site lists the most famous of many different cultures.
Mythweb: http://www.mythweb.com/index.html
Mythology is an easy sell for many students, but this site makes it even more
fun for kids. Illustrated with cartoon characters, the site uses graphics and
colors to tell the tales of gods and heroes. Though the site's design attracts
young users, be sure to skim the contents to ensure that the escapades described
within are appropriate for the intended audience.
