    http://web.uvic.ca/grs/bowman/myth
    
    Extractions: When I began to write my history I was inclined to count these legends as foolishness, but on getting as far as Arcadia I grew to hold a more thoughtful view of them, which is this. In the days of old those Greeks who were considered wise spoke their sayings not straight out but in riddles, and so the legends about Cronus I conjectured to be one sort of Greek wisdom. In matters of divinity, therefore, I shall adopt the received tradition. Pausanias, Description of Greece Classical Myth: The Ancient Sources Helpful Information About the Project This site is designed to draw together the ancient texts and images available on the Web concerning the major figures of Greek and Roman mythology. We were most interested in bringing together the ancient sources and illustrations, but have included some Renaissance images that were just too good to leave out. The site is primarily intended for the use of Greek and Roman Mythology students at the University of Victoria, but feel free to look around! Credits Department of Greek and Roman Studies

84. Main Menu
    A whois-who of classical, Norse, Gaelic and Egyptian mythology.  
    http://www.akasha.demon.co.uk/main.htm
    
    Extractions: This web page is dedicated to the wonderful stories and legends found in the ancient mythologies. Being mainly Celtic with a dash of Greek, I have always been facinated with the myths of those two races. Recently I have researched Norse mythology and found that there is an equally exciting supply of legend there.Finally, inspired by an upcoming trip to Egypt I started to look at their myths, which although highly confusing, have a wealth of interesting deities and beliefs My only problem in constructing this web site has been in deciding what to put in and what to leave out. I have basically compromised by including a glossary of the main characters in Norse, Gaelic, Egyptian and Classical Mythology and including a few of my own favorite stories. I hope, that like me, you may be inspired to read more about the myths of these great cultures.

87. The Mythology Of The Constellations
    classical Greek and Roman myths associated with the stars and constellations.  
    http://www.emufarm.org/~cmbell/myth/myth.html
    
    Extractions: Most ancient cultures saw pictures in the stars of the night sky. The earliest known efforts to catalogue the stars date to cuneiform texts and artifacts dating back roughly 6000 years. These remnants, found in the valley of the Euphrates River, suggest that the ancients observing the heavens saw the lion, the bull, and the scorpion in the stars. The constellations as we know them today are undoubtedly very different from those first fewour night sky is a compendium of images from a number of different societies, both ancient and modern. By far, though, we owe the greatest debt to the mythology of the ancient Greeks and Romans. The earliest references to the mythological significance of the Greek constellations may be found in the works of Homer, which probably date to the 7th century B.C. In the Iliad , for instance, Homer describes the creation of Achilleus's shield by the craftsman god Hephaistos: On it he made the earth, and sky, and sea, the weariless sun and the moon waxing full, and all the constellations that crown the heavens, Pleiades and Hyades, the mighty Orion and the Bear, which men also call by the name of Wain: she wheels round in the same place and watches for Orion, and is the only one not to bathe in Ocean Iliad XVIII 486-490) At the time of Homer, however, most of the constellations were not associated with any particular myth, hero, or god. They were instead known simply as the objects or animals which they representedthe Lyre, for instance, or the Ram. By the 5th century B.C., however, most of the constellations had come to be associated with myths, and the

    Extractions: "The Faery kind lived openly in the old days, all of four feet tall and practiced in many sciences. To them the forest was a holy place. Everything that grew was sacred, from the tiniest shoots to the giant red cedar. Every animal that lived there was revered, every creature in the ocean, every drop of water, each handful of the good moist earth that smelled like new life when you held it close.

90. The Stabbing Cat
    Home of a RuneQuest campaign located on Griffin Island. It is a mixture of the classical world of RuneQuest, Glorantha, and some of the Tolkien mythology.  
    http://www.msu.edu/user/moulinfr/RuneQuest.html
    
    Extractions: Griffin Island is a campaign set published by Avalon Hill Chaosium and based on a previous campaign for RQ 2 called Griffin Mountain. Somehow, in the process of updating the material, the campaign location was changed from Balazar to an isolated island, and the bad guys were changed from Lunars to Orcs ! The intrusion of the orcs as one of the major civilization of the island required some background materials, and being lazy, I choose to adapte informations published in the I.C.E. game MERP. I have also included for your eyes only some of the stunning illustrations from my favorite fantasy artist of all time, Angus McBRIDE . He is the one doing most of the covers of I.C.E. MERP and ROLEMASTER games, and some of the OSPREY military series. I had to reduce the size and quality of the images in order to make them downloadable at a reasonable speed, but if you like these graphics, just imagine that the originals are ten times better! Some of them are available from I.C.E. in a book called "Angus McBride's Characters of ME", ref.#8007. The Stabbing Cat is the main inn in Nidik , and the headquarter of my players when they return to the civilized world. It is a good place to gather gossip and news, and the usual starting point for another adventure. I have included here
