• Dear Mr. Parada, Thank you for creating such an erudite and wonderful site; I spend many hours reading the stories; they are easy to remember (far easier than versions in Apollodorus and Hesiod's Theogony and Work and Days, etc.) and as complete as we can have them. You have made classical studies that much easier and engaging. Un verdadero deleite! Bravo! Claudia
• Your website is truly brilliant. You probably get a lot of these emails, but I would feel almost guilty if I didn't let you know how much I appreciate the apparent work evident in its creation!  I'm on the site all the time now, reading from link to link--so much great info which is all very accessible! Thank you, Ben

• I've stumbled across your Greek Mythology Link, and thought I'd shoot you a note of praise. I'm currently compiling a website about griffins, and your bestiary entry was the first succinct but comprehensive selection of ancient evidence I've seen. I looked at the rest of the site carefully for the first time- excellent stuff. Anyway, kudos and Happy New Year, Tim S.

• Greetings. The Greek Mythology site is outstanding. I am currently writing music for a production of Euripides' "Trojan Women", and am consulting it for background. I have also used the site in preparing for a children's theatre class on Greek mythology. I cannot tell you how useful, thorough, artistic and well organized your site is. Bravo! Marya H.

• Hello Mr. Parada, I have been on your site and I just want to start by saying that the site is absolutely amazing! I am using it for a paper on Artemis and I have never felt so comfortable using a such a reliable website. My teacher also loves your website and has it posted on schoolnotes.com for all her students to use. Have a nice day and thanx again for the fabulous website. Ana
• Dear Mr. Parada: I love your web site! I'm so glad I discovered it. Back in May I went to see the film "Troy." I was engulfed--Peterson produced a masterpiece. I had to go see it a second time (actually, it was better the second time). I went and bought a new copy of the Iliad at Border's. I was enthralled by it all. Your wonderful web site brings it all back--alive, exciting, meaningful, relevant. I'm so glad. There are many mysteries and secrets buried in the Iliad--surprise: The Trojan war didn't end over three thousand years ago--it's still going on! That was my biggest discovery after a period of intense analysis. Please keep up the good work you're doing! When doing my analysis I now refer to your website for info (for example: Hector--true, Apollo warned him not to face Achilles in one-to-one combat, to stay away, Hector of course did not heed that advice, and where was Mars? Hector was left alone to deal with it all Yes, and that trick Athena played on him--somebody gave her persmission to do so. See what I mean--by going to your site I can get background on the relevant question I'm investigating. Thanks. Sincerely, Tom

• I am writing to you to thank for this magnificent site. I am a Computer Science student in Havana University, Cuba but I enjoy reading a lot. I've always found interesting the greek mythology, the stories of constellations and other things related to the greek culture. I think it's one of the best topics a person can read about. The fact that you put such a link in the hands of everybody tells a lot about your person. I sincerely appreciate such thing. The Greek Mythoology Link has helped me to better understand the relationships between different actors in the Greek mythology. It has helped me to better understand a lot of different books on the subject also. Thank you and your colleagues for such a great work. Sincerely, A. A.

September 2004

• Dear Mr Parada, I need to thank you for your incredibly helpful website. During the past few months I have been reading the "Odyssey" and "Iliad" and have found myself innumerably consulting the GML to help me through the texts. As I get deeper and deeper into the labyrinth of references I have not yet found an occasion where your site has failed me. The maps have been extremely helpful (in regard to the Trojan War), it is quite easy to navigate and the illustrations and art are relevant and tickle the imagination. I could go on but I'll instead avoid be an accomplice to hubris. Thank you for helping to make my reading experience richer and more complete and especially for lending legitimacy to internet research. Sincerely, Tim M.

August 2004

• Dear Mr. Parada: I have just discovered this Web site. What a grand achievement! Thank you for creating it and maintaining it. It is helping me to fill in the gaping holes left by an education in mid-century American Catholic schools. This is a wonderful example of using the Internet well. (And I have appropriated a quotation from one of your pages!) "There are some whose only reason for inciting war is to use it as a means to exercise their tyranny over their subjects more easily. For in times of peace the authority of the assembly, the dignity of the magistrates, the force of the laws stand in the way to some extent of the ruler doing what he likes. But once war is declared then the whole business of state is subject to the will of a few ... They demand as much money as they like. Why say more?" [Erasmus of Rotterdam 1469-1536, Adages IV.i.1] Dorothy D.
• I just wanted to drop you a note and tell you how much I love your Greek Mythology site. I've been spending a lot of time on it lately (maybe too much time!) It's very in-depth! Mike
• I thank you for the infomation you provided on Attis at your mythology website. I had searched several dictionaries but couldn't find out anything. Dennis B.

July 2004

• I can't tell you how delighted I am with your work... Absolutely marvelous... Until now I have relied on Graves's "The Greek Myths" to satisfy most of my inquiries, but it can be rather tedious finding specific information sometimes. Having your work in a searchable format is a tremendous timesaver. Thank you! Ken G.
• You have the best site on Greek Mythology on the Web. Keep it up! -Vero

June 2004

• Dear Mr. Parada, I offer my sincere appreciation for your help in furthering my study of Greek Mythology.Your information has contributed immensely to my understanding of Greek culture. Thank your for the time and effort that you spent helping me. Sincerely, Mike F.

May 2004

• Thank you! Thank you, for the wonderful web site you have created. I plan to use it NEXT year when I teach, The Odyssey to 9th grade RSP students at a high school in Southern California. (I found your site too late this year.) Sincerely, Cathy L.
• Dear Mr Parada, When I was young, the only association I had with Greek Mythology was though tv series or movies. The Gods from Mount Olympus and Hero from the Trojan War were bit and puzzle. It is very hard to understand the full stories (history) how one character was link to another. It may takes "some get use to it" browsing though all the characters and link them to a beautiful stories. Especially, when I'm a foreigner with no knowledge of your histories and culture. But with 3000 years of history and stories, I must say you did a very good job. Your web site is a window for those who seek Western civilisation history. Please do continual your passion which you had done a great job. Because of the current movie "Troy", I believe lots of people will be looking for more information from books (Illiad) to the Internet. It is best to set the record straight as people may take the movie as it's [...] I will keep coming back to your web site as I had only read a small part of a colourful history. One day, I will tell my children the story of this legend and the Gods from Mount Olympus. Sincerely, CS Yeo [Malaysia]
• I was researching greek mythology and I came across your site. I would just like to say your site has lots of information and makes it easy to research certain people from that time the way you have it set up, so pretty much just saying you have a really good site. Ryan M.

April 2004

September 2003

• Thank for the Greek Mythology site
  I have recently been enjoying the gods and myths.
  I try to read a little every morning before I begin work.

  I started with a family tree of the gods
  Reading about each as I followed the genealogy.
  Now your site introduces the sages to me.

  Diving gets boring
  until someone very good performs,

• hello! i'd just like to thank you for putting up the comparison between the real herakles and disney's hercules! i'd been considering writing an essay about how poor the film was (i've literally just watched it) but there was just too much at fault to organise my thoughts with! asides from this you're website has proved very useful to me in my research for classical civilisation in which i've just taken my AS and shall start my A2 course next year! Thanks again! Lu
• Mr.Carlos Parada, My name is Ryan, and I have recently acted in a play called "The Love of the Nightingale" based on a Greek myth. I have partaken in many productions before, and have always found that the most convincing performance can be obtained if a greater understanding of the character you are portraying can be obtained. I, playing the rather gruesome character of Tereus, first turned to the library for aid in gathering information, but was growing impatient with how difficult it was to find a large amount of information in one spot, as the myths are very much intertwined. I soon found your site on Greek mythology, and in turn presented it to my fellow cast members. We have all benefited greatly from the way the information is given in a direct fashion, with a high amount of detail. My director would also like to thank you for clarifying many aspects of the myth (such as what is often meant by 'hoopoe') and for giving us background information on the characters. Keep up the great work! Cordially, Ryan
• Dear Mr. Parada, In an attempt to discover the meaning contained in several recent dreams, I have searched for rather obscure mythological material which goes beyond the one or two lines usually found in common mythological dictionaries. Your website presents such useful information. Thank you for taking the time to make this available to us. Most sincerely, Dennis L.
• Buscando, buscando imagenes de arte para mis clases he llegado a su pagina. Me parece fa-bu-lo-sa.Un ejemplo para otras muchas. Y un poco de arte erotico, naturalmente!, para no explicar siempre la misma historia del arte asexuada ... Congratulations. Felicidades. Javier B.

June 2003

• Dear Carlos, My name is Danielle and I really love your site on Greek Mythology !! I searched for hours a day trying to find a place on the internet where I could simply read and learn more about Greek Mythology without having to buy an overpriced book by mail or signing a stupid contract whose only purpose is to scam me out of lots of cash and fees. Anyway, just stating the obvious. Thank you for providing a site where I can learn and use my spare time, without wasting any time at all. Thanks for helping good minds grow, Danielle
• Undoubtedly one of the best sites in the Internet. Congratulations, Alexander T.

March 2003

• Hello Carlos- I have been researching the Trojan War and lineage of the Trojans when I came to your amazing web page. The documenatation and insights you provide are nothing short of brilliant! You have answered many of the questions I have so I want to thank you for your hard work and efforts in providing this information online. Best Regards, Lynn
• carlos, what can I say except you have created a place of great magnificence! I found my way there this morning before dawn following my gnosis in search of comprehending and explicating James Joyce's Finnegans Wake (in which Vico's cyclical ages of man plays such a great part). about a year ago I decided I was wise enough old enough flakey enough to understand this midden heap work of joyce's and I have become smitten and obsessed with it. thank you for your splendiferous effort! so much there resonates with my own desire to praise the goddess by all ten thousand of her names [...] Suzanne N.

June 2002

• Dear Mr. Carlos Parada. How wonderfull for you to read all these letters (from Setembre 1997 till June 2002.) I was all over the world. Everything I wanted to say, is already said by the former writers. I met the whole world, and all ages, even a Mother reading her 8-years old child. The only thing I will add is: even an old man of 82 is faboulesly enjoying your site. Gijs - Netherland
• Hi Carlos, Just saw the name (of a journalist who wrote an article in USA Today, no less!) whose name was "Alcestis" and my 45 year old brain raced by to freshman year in high school and Edith Hamilton's "Mythology" but I couldn't quite retrieve the story. So I did a Google search and the first link was to your website. I just have to compliment you on a truly EXTRAORDINARY site! More than I needed to know...but being the kind of person who loves trivia and connections and words and literature, not more than I WANT to know. Kudos! Cheers, Sue F. San Francisco
• Dear Mr. Carlos Parada, I admire your excellent work. Whenever I go on web, the last site I want to visit is your site. The pages have been more and more beautiful since I first found it in 2000. The contents are extremely useful and interesting. I wonder if I should point out something imperfect: the scripts in the biography of Penelope has been unseen for a long time, and some scripts in other biographies are deformed, for instance, in "Patroclus". In a word, I hope GML becomes better and better. Myths are immortal, so is the love for myths. Best wishes, Valeria

January 2002

• Thank goodness that my partner and I can find your website again! She and I are writing a novel based on some of the Greek myths, and we use it several times a week. Keep up the good work! And don't disappear! Victoria G.
• Dear Carlos, Your website is a huge professional gift to teachers who teach the Odyssey every year. Just Gorgeous to look at too. Cheers, B.B., Director of Instructional Technology

• Dear Mr. Parada: I write this brief note to you as a token of my gratitude for creating and maintaining such a wonderful web site as The Greek Mythology Link. I am a medical student in my fourth year of formation at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador, Quito - Ecuador; and one of my passions, besides classical guitar (which I spend most of my free time playing), has always been to learn about this magical series of stories, but I never found a well organized guide to start my journey, and I didn't want to read the work of Homer without acquiring some background on the field first; anyway, I just wanted to thank and congratulate you for your work, 'cause it has made my entrance to the Mythology far easier. Yours, Luis Francisco C.
• Outstanding work! Don't stop, it keeps getting better. Teresa

• I love your web site. Evan C. E.
• Dear Mr Parada While I appreciate the enormous work you have put into this site, I am missing a version of the myths re-told in English for children. I merely have the version written by Robert Graves. Knowledge by Western European children of these myths has largely vanished in the last 40 years as can be seen from the fact that there is no version available on the German book market that I consider fit for a child´s consumption. At best the figure of Hercules is recognised by children, and maybe Zeus, via Hollywood cartoons, but e.g. Athena or Dionysos are truly dead for a child born in 1990. If you are working on such a version or can give me a link to one, I would be glad to hear from you. Best Regards from Adrian C. [Germany]
• Estoy entusiasmada con su trabajo. Es un regalo espléndido. Gracias. Un saludo cordial, Ana [España]

• Tu pagina es espectacular... Es una suerte encontrar algo asi entre tanta basura que hay en la web. Aunque el conocimiento de la mitologia griega cada vez se difunda menos en un mundo cada vez mas hueco e ignorante, es muy importante conocerla porque nos conocemos a nosotros mismos.

• Dear Mr. Parada, As a teacher of Greek mythology, I want to thank you for this incredible site! I have found answers here for questions that students ask that would have taken me a lifetime to research. Indeed, in just one visit, I have learned (and been reminded) of so many interesting facts concerning the intricate relationships between the gods, heroes, and men of Greek mythology. Please continue your excellent work. I plan on using this site as a reference for many projects and assignments in the future. With Gratitude and Admiration, Donna. D.
• Excellent web page. I teach high school in California and have created a power point presentation using you pictures and a few captions. Your web site is one of the most easily accessed I have come across (and I do a lot of web searching). Thank you, Pilar P.

• The curve of the waves, the orientation of the vessel and the curve of the sail indicate that the craft is sailing before the wind (proceeding from left to right), but the penant atop the mast is contrarily flying INTO the wind - a good trick.

• My name is Kevin M. I am 14 and I live in Ontario Canada. I have been doing a report on Greek Mythology and I needed help tracking where a character (Odysseus) went. I checked your site and i found it to be amazingly helpful. It provided all the information for me to properly chart the characters course. It was excellent. Anyway, I just felt I had to thank you for puting out such a great and enormously useful web site. Thanks again! Kevin M.
• Your site is pure delight ! Nadine
• I just wanted to tell you that I enjoy visiting your web site on Greek Mythology and find it very informative. I visit the site frequently. Thank you. Helen W.
• Disney's Hercules. Hi! I came by and discovered your greek mythology site [http://hsa.brown.edu/maicar/DisneyHercules.html], one of the best and most complete I have ever seen on the net: congratulations!!! And I mean it; being a real mythomaniac for years has made me very critical and demanding on the subject... So I was of course totally upset when I saw what Disney made with Heracles, sorry, Hercules. The fact that that the animation was nice and some gag ideas good only made it worse: it could have been great...but nope. If they changed the storyline that much because of too much sex, violence, a complicated and too large a plot, let alone a complex symbolism, they should have chosen another myth, Perseus for example, who fits better the old pattern of the "disneyan" hero as a monster slayer and a princess rescuer! Moreover, talking about complexity, the result is such a confusing hotch potch... By the way, in your comparison, you forgot one point (I know, they are way too numerous): the Muses! The Disney studios decided that five Muses were far enough; or maybe the animators complained and the number was reduced from 9 to 5 (thus reducing the amount of animation work!) I have no idea. We won't even talk about the live TV series "Hercules" with Kevin Sorbo, even if it sticks a little better to the original (at least he is still the son of Zeus and Alkmene, and Hera keeps on persecuting him)... Keep on doing such a good job, and maybe "real" mythology and culture won't totally disappear off the face of the planet (may the Gods help you!). Yours, Elie K.
• I found some of the information on this site helpful. I have a greek mythology name and I wanted to know more about the character I was named after. This is the only site that has actually had some sort of background of Phaedra. Thanks, S. Phaedra
• I was interested in who Psyche was, and now I know. J.P.
• Thanks for the informative page on minotaurs. I couldn't believe that my webster's third had no entry for minotaur. Starting to doubt my 52 year-old memory, i went to the web and, sure enough, the minotaur is still as i remembered it from Edith Hamilton. Long live mythos! Bill S.

• Sir, What a wonderful web-site you have created and maintained. I found your site while seeking information for a paper on mentoring. I was interested in the origin of the word and discovered it is from Mentor in Greek Mythology. I'm impressed by the depth of your research. Your passion is evident. I plan on returning to browse your site again (after my paper is completed) and refresh my interest in mythology. Thank you. Alice M. N.
• Great web page it helped me alot with my report thanks. B.
• I needed to find some information on Greek Gods for a Latin/English project, and was skeptical of what I may be able to find on the internet... I am truly amazed by the efficiency of your website. Thank You for providing such an excellent service. A.S.
• Thanks for having great information. This is a great site...Key
• This is wonderful! We have been studying mythology in my class (my first experience with it) and the students have enjoyed it. After much debate, I decided to show the Disney movie only after having read information about Heracles (we chose to primarily use the Greek names) and then compare the literary version to the movie. Unfortunately, many of the students had seen the movie, some numerours times and therefore, their judgement was clouded and had difficulty distinguishing between the two. I shared this information with another teacher in the building and she sent me the link to your site. This was a tremendous help. Even though, we had used a graphic organizer when we discussed the comparisons, the use of your website made it "come to life". Thanks again, J.T.

• I'm from texas and in high school, and I just wanted to let you know that I thought your webpage was really helpful to me with my project on the greek goddess, aphrodite. My only suggestion to you would be to add more information on aphrodite like what other apparent powers she may have had or what her symbol may have been. Or even maybe what else they are known for. But over all it was really good and i appreciate you sharing your knowledge with the world. S.S.
• I would like to congratulate you on your magnificent web site depicting all the events of Greek and Roman Mythology extremely clearly. My personal favorite God is Aphrodite, the Goddess of love, beauty, and sexual desire. I like the way the ancient Greek and Roman people came up with ideas explaining everything from how the sun goes across the sky, to why spiders weave beautiful designs in their webs. From, why in the winter and fall the world's plants die to where people go when they die. One of my favorite stories is where Athena turns Arachne into a spider after she weaves a picture making fun of the Gods. I like it when people can understand the complexity of this religion. Please, let's never forget these stories. Beautiful stories, beautiful myths. Sincerely, Emily F.

Me gustaría saber si esta traducción se puede encontrar publicada como libro (es imposible dejar de sentir el gusto por el papel de toda la vida). Muchísimas gracias por esta aportación al estudio de la mitología. Un saludo, M.P.P. [Lcda. en Filología Clásica, Profesora de Secundaria en Lanzarote]
• I claim no scholarly knowledge or insight to the Greek Myths. I do however lay claim to a lifelong fascination with and an enduring love, for them. As I spend more time in your website I become more and more like a child in a candy store. After several years of looking at what the internet has to offer, I believe this is one of the true treats that I have found. Thank you so much for this. I will return often! J.R.
• I would like to express to you how much I have enjoyed your site. It is nothing short of a master piece. Many thanks. P.
• What a fantastic contribution to society. Your pages redeem all that is bad with the Internet. C.B.
• I've never studied Greek or Roman mythology; however, I found you page very exciting and even inviting. I look forward to considering and contemplating the possible spiritual implications of such readings. Thank you! J.R.
• Hi I just wanted to say that your page is amazing it's helped me so much. I have written a play about Greek Mythology basically an of kilter look at the gods. Because well there pretty screwed up. It also shows some famous moments in Greek Mythology like the judment of Paris and the story of Arachne. And all the gods are here from the major ones to some of the minors gods. The show is called "War What Is It Good For" and is about a civil war on Olympus between Ares and Athena (thanks to Eris and her golden apples) Well anyway your page has been soooo helpful to me. Keep up the great work. T.
• Your website is wonderful, magical, educational, inspired. Thank you very much. G.K.

• Hi, The world is a very small place. In 1977, I spent a year in Jonkoping, and tonight your http://hsa.brown.edu/~maicar/METAMORPHOSES.html helped me solve the New York Times crossword puzzle (3 down: She was changed into a nightingale). You've put together a fascinating site and an excellent resource. I thought I'd tell you that, in case the other 27,658 hadn't bothered. Be well. J.K.L.
• Thank you for this wonderful resource. From a senior (in age) student of the classics. Jason C. M.

• I came upon your site in the course of searching for information to complete a paper about Greek Mythology for a class and I have been enthralled ever since. You have provided such a wealth of knowledge in such a clear and concise way anybody, even a child, will be able to understand a great deal of Greek Mythology...I also just enjoyed having the ability to know one piece of a myth and easily be able to "click" my way through several other relevant myths.

• hola Soy estudiante de Peru cuya afición es la mitologia griega asi q cuando voy al internet lo primero q hago aparte de abrir mi correo es ponerme a buscar algunas webs interesantes que me puedan dar informacion sobre este tema, colecciono revistas y libros al respecto pero parece ser q siempre hay mas bueno entre todas las paginas q encontrado dos me parecen muy buenas una es la de uds. pero creo q podria ser mejor si tan solo se dividiera en mas secciones de las q hay por ejemplo seria bueno q haya una seccion para los heroes griegos y otra para las mitologias bueno eso es todo por ahora un fiel amigo david

• Mr. Parada, I'm a freelance writer, and in my job I do a lot of web research. In all my hours of surfing for information, I have never found such a comprehensive site as yours on the Trojan War. You made my job much easier, and even cleared up some questions I had about various aspects of the war and its many participants!

• Dear Carlos Parada, Thank you so much for your wonderful site. I am a children's author, working in the same field as you at present, and your map section has proved invaluable in clarifying my mind as to where events take place. I particularly like the way you have colour coded everything, so that if I am looking for an obscure mountain, it sticks out very clearly on the screen. A bonus if deadlines are pressing and time at a premium...Thank you again, L.
• This is great page! I love Greek mythology and this gives an excellent idea of what it is -in essence, not only in text. So, congratulations, and if you ever have anything else to share about it, please write!! Melisa

• Scythia and interest in myths. Greetings from Leuven in Belgium. Very interesting site you built there. I'm fascinated by the Scythians. 4-5 years ago I went to a Scythian arts & crafts exhibition and it was all so - whow. Plus of course that several ancient Celtic books mention them as well - though it is generally put that those stories are myths. Well, they must come from somwehere. Without going in to a theological discussion, the Old Thestament is mostly based on myths as well. So what is the difference ? That one is accepted and the other is not. Better still all Christian holidays have their roots in pagan times. People, ancient & modern, need myths - look around. People need reassurance that everything will come right; here comes the hero, he/she'll do it. It is sad that people forget the real heroic myths, for there is a genealogical structure in them, are often well written and carry a lot of history in them. You almost (?) believe it. I did Greek & Latin for 3 years, I hated the translations we had to do, but I loved the stories. My interest in Greek mythology never went away with the red figure on my finals. I have Robert Graves' "Greek Mythology" -a well edited, beauty of a book. Anyway, thanks a lot. Nadine.
• Just wanted to express my appreciation for a great web site. As an individual with a passing interest in mythology, your site is an excellent source of info that is structured for easy navigation. Thanks again, Jeff Z.
• Hello, I just wanted to thank you for making such and out-standing web site on Greek mythology. It was really helpful making my mythology report on "Hades". Well just wanted to thank you. Sheri PS: Yes, I will add you in my Reference page. Thanks a bunch.
• The Other half of Greek Mythology: I am a student of New College, the Honors college of the Florida State University system, and I have been working the past month on an Independent Study Project dealing with Homosexual, Bisexual, Lesbian, and Transgender images in Mythology. I've found your site incredibly useful, but I've also noticed that it tends to focus much more on the heterosexual lives of the gods and goddesses of Greek Myth, while giving occasional asides to their other interests. I understand that history is at the mercy of the historians, and as many have pointed out, historians tend to be straight white males, thus skewing the angles at which stories are presented. Many, almost all, of the Greek deities I have studied this month have had male lovers, and the same holds true for female goddesses and lesbian lovers. Obviously, you are much more versed in mythology than I, and have access to a greater span of resources; however, I can't help but notice a heterosexist skew in the presentation of the relationships of the Gods. For instance, in my research, I have found a different angle upon the relationship of Artemis and Callisto: A wood nymph and beloved of Artemis. When Zeus, having been rejected by Callisto, learned of her love for Artemis, he took on the form, or disguised himself as, Artemis in order to arouse Callisto's passions. Callisto became pregnant with Zeus' child, and killed Callisto before learning of how she was fooled. Having learned what had happened, and being unable to revive her lover, Artemis, grief-stricken, turned Callisto into the constellation of the Great Bear. Obviously, the Greek mind thought of love and homosexuality in very different terms than modern western thought, thus many instances we would call rape, would not have been considered as such. Well, I suppose that's all I have to say, I could point out more instances, but I feel like I'd be pointing out what tires are to an automechanic... so I'll just rest my case there... Although I will mention a wonderful resource that I have found invaluable in my studies: Cassel's Encyclopedia of Queer Myth, Symbol, and Spirit. by Randy P. Conner, David Hatfiled Sparks, and Mariya Sparks. Thank you for your time, and thank you very much for your site Michael J.

December 1999

• Hi there. I would like to congratulate you on the wonderful webpage you have, and thank you for all of the information that it offers. I have it bookmarked as one of my favorite sites. I used to hate Greek mythology, when I was in high school. I could not stand to read Bullfinches Mythology. However, as of late, I've been more and more interested in Greeky mythos, especially regarding Hermes. Thank you so very much for the informative and easily browseable page! Have a great day. :) Heather
• Dear Carlos: I am most grateful for the mythological chronology page, having hunted high and low (mostly low) for just such a thing to no avail. While I appreciate the disclaimer that it is speculative in nature, it is still most beneficial as a reference. I am curious however, that I did not spy Dionysus on your chart and am interested in the reason behind the omission, if you care to share it. Once again, I thank you and commend you on your well-crafted site. Regards, P.
• THANKS for having such a good, workable site. In my religious study I'd needed some information on Zeus. All the other web sites seemed to be mythologies about mythology. Your pages were most helpful and appreciated. That goes for your format of information as well. Jerry S.
• Thank you for helping me with my English project! Ruth

• Thanks very much for the websites, I found them very helpful! Wasp
• Some Thoughts on the Odyssey. Carlos, When I was in college I had to read The Odyssey, I hated it because I thought the teacher made Penelope sound like such a drip. Penelope was always crying and she didn't even recognize the man she had a baby with. Just this fall I re read The Odyssey. I think Penelope recognizes her husband almost immediately. Let me tell you why I think this... Penelope is intrigued by the stranger because he may have news of her husband. However, I think she realizes he may be Odysseus when, after receiving a beating, the beggar does not leave. A beggar would just have gone elsewhere. She wants to see the stranger immediately and is disappointed when Eumaeus tells her to wait until night fall. When she sees the beggar that night ,I think she recognizes him as Odysseus right away. However, She must not give him away to the maids in the hall because they will tell the suitors. When Penelope tells the beggar the dream about the geese and the two gates, she is telling her husband that she fears the suitors will kill him. She also solves his problem on how he can kill the suitors by coming up with the test of the bow. The only way one man may kill many is with a bow. Penelope tells the beggar that she is going upstairs to sleep alone and that he must sleep in the hall. Why would she tell a beggar this? That night she prays to Artemis to kill her because she thinks the suitors will kill Odysseus and her son. Like Andromache, she must marry the killer and have children by him. When the maid tells her the suitors are dead, Penelope is disbelieving because the odds were so much in the suitors favor. Penelope is also wondering what kind of man Odysseus has become after being gone for so long. This is why she tells him that she doesn't know who he is. Penelope tells the maid to put the bed in the hall way. He thinks "someone" has cut the bed out if its place. This is where he becomes hurt and angry thinking some man has been in the room. Had Odysseus been Agamemnon, he probably would have killed her at this point. This is probably why some of the myth writers say Penelope had an affair with one of the suitors. Thank for letting me share my thoughts. Anna L.
• Scylla, sea-monster daughter of Crateis may be an immortal. Circe in Book 12 of the Odyssey describes Scylla as a 'deathless fiend', a divine monster beyond Odysseus' ability to slay. Lycophron (45) claims that Heracles slew Scylla but that Phorcys revived her in a magical rite. Scylla's immortality was shared by two Gorgon sisters but siblings Medusa and Echidna were not. Another sister, the nymph Thoosa was probabley merely long-lived since her child Polyphemus was definitely mortal. Divine parentage evidently did not guarantee immortality for the off-spring. Gordon
• Dear Carlos, I am teaching Oedipus for the first time to a group of Freshman Honors English students. I happened upon your website-I was very impressed and want to thank you for it.

• Dear Carlos, Thanks so much for this incredible site you've put up. I found it tonight when I wanted to include Zeus's apparition to Semele in an email to a friend of mine, but I couldn't remember her name. Within three minutes of hitting your site I had it. Thanks again. Sincerely, Bill T.

• To: Carlos Parada. Dear sir, My name is Filipe F., and I'm a portuguese student of History, with a very particular passion on Classic Greece history. I had found your page on the internet, while doing some research on the Minoician culture, and was very well impressed by it. Your page is probably the best place for Greek mithology and history research on the net. It ceartainly is the best I had ever seen (and I had seen a lot of them). It´s very well organized and very complete, and it looks like you had seek the best sources on the subject to make it. Now-a-days there are lots of wrong information on this subjects, and it´s good that someone could filter some historical autor's garbage, and built a truthfull and trustfull document such as your page. I had, obviously haded it to my favourites, and I believe I will visit it on many other occasions. Here I send you my congratullations for your work, and the request for you to keep on doing it. My best regards Filipe F. [Portugal]

• i am an enthusiastic fan of the greek mythology link. it has no equal as an informational source in my 25 years of experience as a devoted fan of classical myth. i believe the centaur Cheiron is deserving of an expanded stand-alone entry. surely this teacher of heroes merits this? thank you for any consideration of my suggestion.Your's sincerely Gordon.

• Hello, My name is Renee and I just wanted to say thank you for having such a great site. Also I used a lot of the information on my Greek report. This web site was the main reason I got an A+ along with a lot of my other friends who used your site. R.
• Thank you for this most beautiful site. I generally get very impatient when downloading a site with a lot of graphics which generally don't add to the content, but the graphics and pictures on your site make me understand my deep down emotional response to the ancient Greek world. Is there a statue or picture of Priam kissing Achilles' hands? I think this scene in ancient Greek literature is the reason why Homer will eventually win out over Plato's Republic. Celeste W.
• I'd like to thank you for your work. I recently assigned my 10th and 11th grade students a brief research task, investigating the mythological figures and places alluded to in Antigone. Yours was one of the sites I suggested to my students, and it was one often cited in their papers. Although I had earlier skimmed through aspects of GML, I found myself, this evening, looking more deeply into it. I am extremely impressed, and am grateful for the resource. Yours truly, Kathryn E. P.
• Interesting web site. I believe to a certain degree in Greek mythology. I believe this civilization actually did exist prior to the great Flood of Noah. There is some indication in the Bible of sexual intercourse between fallen angels and the daughters of Adam that produced the "mighty men of old". These half-breeds were known as the nephilim and had superior size, strength and were apparently advanced in knowledge. They were always male. God destroyed these people in the Flood but preserved Noah and his family to carry on the human race. The Bible says that in the days of Noah before the great Flood, the earth was full of violence and wickedness. What could more perfectly describe the constant fighting, brutality, and killing that occurred during the era of the "gods"? The remembrance and accuracy of the events of that violent civilization began to fade as the centuries disappeared into the mist. Several websites you might want to look into concerning the nephilim are listed below. http://members.tripod.com/Khyron_4/nephilim.html, http://www.tribnews.net/text/nephilim.html, http://www.mt.net/~watcher/enoch5.html, Sincerely, Al K.
• Just wanted to say thanks for having such a great site. I have always been interested in Greek mythology and this brings it straight to me, and shows me all the connections. It has been very informative and sent me on my way to evolving a bit :) Thanks again! April

September 1999

• Nice job! The way your site is arranged makes it very easy to search for exact topics. I just have two comments I'd like to put to you, just for the heck of it. The first is that the Garden of the Hesperides most likely was not on African soil (under your heading, Atlas... Atlas in the far west). Several sources from classical Greece support this claim. It was instead, "beyond the fabulous stream of the ocean...". Try somewhere further west than Africa, or else maybe do not cite a modern location at all... what do you think? I was also surprised when I looked under "Atlantis" that the second sentence of your initial description describes the inhabitants as a "spiritually ugly" race. This is at best, an opinion, and depending on your point of view, inaccurate. The people of Atlantis were merely the victims of a great natural catastrophe. You are attaching an element of wickedness (as did Plato) that more likely was just unluckiness. A case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time! Otherwise, I commend you! A most enjoyable discovery! Sincerely, Monique P.
• I am teaching The Odyssey to ninth graders in Oglethorpe County, Georgia and got on-line for some lesson plan ideas...your page was so helpful and informative that I think I can even direct them to look at it for their own extra research. Thanks a lot! Anna W.

• Quiero expresarle mi agradecimiento ante el interesante trabajo que usted y sus colaboradores han realizado; es muy gratificante poder disponer de unas páginas en las que se explica de forma minuciosa y muy didáctica la Mitología Griega. La cultura que he recibido, al ser española, está imbuida de palabras y tradiciones cuyo origen se remontan a Grecia y que están presentes en manifestaciones humanas como la pintura, la escultura, la literatura, etc. Ergo conocerlas con profundidad y detenimiento es importante para poder completar partes de la ya individual formación. También quiero felicitarle por el importante trabajo de traducción que el profesor Eduardo Rodríguez realiza; es de gran valor para los que en alguna ocasión estudiamos griego pero se nos olvidó, no pasamos de un nivel elemental o tampoco hemos podido acceder al idioma inglés. Enhorabuena. Carmen P. [Valencia, España]

• Hi, I saw with pleasure your list over images of greek mythology. Great work! I was extremely happy when I saw a statue of Hercules in the garden of hesperides by Rudolph Tegner. I am in the board which tries to protect his work from destruction and I can inform you that there is a homepage with photos of statues from greek mythology. The adress for the homepage is: www.rudolphtegner.dk (click on VÆRKER, you will see a lot of text with names of the sculptures. Click on the name and you will see the statue). He is very much inspired by greek mythology. Kind regards Torsten N. [Denmark]
• Thanks for the nicely done and easy-to-follow website on mythology. This is one of those topics that I should know lots about but never feel any security in discussing. As a junior high teacher (teaching ages 12 - 14), one of my summer goals was/is to get myself more up-to-speed on mythology. So often the references send me hunting. Thanks for your work and obvious love of this subject. Much appreciated. Mary Ellen, San Diego, CA

• Whoever you are, I'm just letting you know that your "Greek Mythology Link" is incredible. Thanks SOO much. Amanda E.!
• I really like the page, but did have a suggestion to help. I'm constantly looking for the correct pronounciations of the names and it's be great if there was just a pronounciation by each name like in a dictionary so that readers can sound it out and have a good idea about the names. Other than that I really like the detail of explanation that the page has and it's a permanant bookmark for me. R.C.

I was having a lot of trouble finding information on my goddess (Artemis), and so was one of my friends, who is studying Aphrodite. One of my peers whom is researching Achilles told me about this page, and my friend and I are really thankful that you have put this page on the Internet! Thanks a lot! H.N.W.

I wanted to send you my gratitude and thanks for the information on this website. Thank you for letting me share my opinion with you and have a nice day. Thank you again. Kirk Charles V.
• This is the most in depth site I've seen on Greek Mythology. Since it's been many years since I read the myths I have a lot of refreshing to do. This site makes it entirely easy to do. It covers all versions of the myths too. Thank you for all the hard work and please keep this site going if you can. I'll be reading and learning here for a long time to come. Thanks again, Stormie
• I visited this site in March to help do an art paper. I was working on the painting Cupid and Psyche, by David, but had no information on the story. I searched almost 20 different sites before I found this one. It was really thorough and helpful to me. This was the best site out of all. I am going to tell all my friends who are just as much interested in Greek Myth as I am. Thank you, L. S. Haper, Cleveland State University.

• Congratulations. It is admirable that only the country of origin does nearly nothing to promote their true heritage. I find a lot more on Hellenic mythology etc in foreign web sites than where the best information should be. The Hellenes unfortunately are under the yoke of the asiatic christian religion which has done its best to erase their heritage and cut them off their roots. Just look in what state the most renown monuments are. There is no intention of resurrecting anything to the original glory. The religion that was imposed on them with fire and iron will not allow it. They need a lot of pressure from abroad to do something... You do me a good service supporting the Hellenic mythology. Purigenhs O.
• Your webpage is really good, it is very detailed and accurate and has the many different views of how things happened and came to be. But the page I want to talk about is the one were you compare the real hercules (in mythology) and that damned one in the disney movie. When I heard about that movie, I knew they would never put what really happened... I've never seen the movie, and never hope to, but when I read that page I saw exactly how much they screwed it up...and I just like it because most of the people I know don't study or have any interest in mythology, and whatever they hear they might take to heart, so...what I trying to say is that, now whoever reads that will understand that it isn't the same at all, so I thank you and I greatly appreciate all the work that you've put into this wp...Vorzheva
• Congratulations to your website GREEK MYTHOLOGY LINK. It contains the most important bits of information about Greek mythology and a collection of wonderful pieces of art. I will recommend this site to my fellow students. Best greetings Ralph K. [Germany]

• I just visited your website, because I had some homework to do on a specific character in Greek mythology, and I just wanted to say that your site is great! It told me everything I needed to know, and it was so easy to find information, with the list of individuals in alphabetical order, and everything is laid out quite nicely. I spent about 5 minutes on what I thought would be a half hour research session. So I just wanted to say thanks for making my life a little better and easier. Jillian W.
