Mythology, Folklore, and a little bit of Religion
Welcome! This page is essentially a massive list of links to sites about mythology, folklore, and religion. I've tried to sort them all by category, which has the advantage that it (theoretically, at any rate) makes it easier to find what you're looking for, but can lead to some pretty deeply nested subdivisions and also means that a lot of these pages do link to each other. There are links here to almost every relevant page I can find -- "almost" because there are a few things I don't have here: pages not in English, usenet sites, urban folklore and cyberlore sites, or any pages relating to "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys."
Also, *please* mail me if- Any of my links have problems, are out of date, have moved, or whatever
- You think I've mis-categorized something (always a possibility!)
- You've got a site you'd like me to add to my list
- I've got a link to your site and you wish I didn't
That's about it . . . happy mything!
