More Mythology Websites

Thanks to Mrs. Lindquist for providing these links!

Ancient Rome

This website of classical images has been assisted by grants from the Classical Association of the Empire State and the Classical Association of the Atlantic States.

Myths and Legends

Formerly housed at MIT, this private website was created and is maintained by Christopher B. Siren, a professor from UNH.

Greek Mythology

The author of this site, Carlos Parada is author of Genealogical Guide to Greek Mythology , and visiting lecturer at the Department of Classics, Lund University (Sweden). Most of his work in recent years has been dedicated to the creation and improvement of the Greek Mythology Link, an Internet site with free access devoted to the Greek myths and related subjects.

Classic Myths

"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!"

Dr. J's Illustrated Guide to the Classical World

The purpose of this site, designed by Dr. Janice Siegel of the Department of foreign languages at the University of Illinois, is to open up the world of classical antiquity to students of all levels.

We are not amused...by these Victorian Era links

The Victorian Web The University Scholars Programme, National University of Singapore
Since January 2000, the University Scholars Programme (USP), a highly selective honors program at the National University of Singapore, has supported the Victorian Web's two websites. Between January 2000 and December 2001 the USP also funded two senior research fellows, Dr. Marjorie Bloy and Dr. Jon van Whye, and a half dozen student assistants, who worked on The Victorian Web Books section and other major projects, including the site's materials on science, technology, and political and social history.

Literary Resources This site is maintaine by Jack Lynch of Rutgers. Most of the sites that are listed include the responsible party along with their academic credentials.

Norton Anthology The Norton Anthology of English Literature offers some excellent information about the Victorian Age in reference to its literature.

The Victorian Literary Studies Archive Mitsuharu Matsuoka of the school of Language and Culture at Nagoya University in Japan has put together a list of well-documented links on Victorian Literature.
