In matters of divinity, therefore, I shall adopt the received tradition.
The Olympian Gods: Images and Texts How to use this site Attributes in iconography Time line of Greek history and literature Other useful sites Some bibliographyThis 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!
