blame in on the black star,

blame it on the fallen sky,

Greek Mythology Sources

Interest in greek mythology rises anew with the new number of retellings and adaptions...and misconceptions all around...

Claims like "that never happened" or "that's the roman version" are around a lot...but even if you wanted to learn more, where would you even start looking? Where do you begin your research for your next fic, or next discussion? Well...That's for you!

Here's a list of source names, links to access them, maps, family trees & more

Where to access the texts:

Database, interlinks all names and places, has almost all sources translated, can find all name mentions of place or character in the sources, has a map with the places

Digital Library, nearly all main greek and roman sources, including OG language text and dictionary for those languages (is instable at times, try coming back a few hours/days later and it should be up again)

Database, has summary posts for individual heroes, creatures, gods and events, as well as many translations, has a search function

List of Ancient Sources

  • Homer's Iliad (8th BC)
  • Homer's Odyssey (8th BC)
  • Epic Cycle (and Theban Cycle) fragments (8-6th BC)
  • Homeric Hymns (7th BC)
  • Orphic Hymns (2nd BC/2nd AD)
  • Quintus Smyrnaeus’s Posthomerica (3rd AD)
  • Tryphiodorus’s Taking of Ilium (3rd AD)
  • Apollonius Rhodius’ Argonautica (3rd BC)
  • Nonnus’ Dionysiaca (5th AD)
  • Hesiod’s Theogony, Works and Days, Catalogue of Women (8th BC)
  • Statius’s Thebaid, Achilleid (1st AD)

paralyzed adrien and he can walk as chat noir!!! but he still can’t feel his legs. cats should land on their feet shouldn’t they? he jokes. leaning on his baton all the time for balance. running on all fours is easier - he plays it off as a cat joke. everyone thinks he’s just SO clumsy (finally someone clumsier than you, marinette!) but he truly just does not know where his legs are and the only reason he’s standing on them is the magic in his suit.

Breaking News Alert: our gracious prince has found the beautiful young woman who came thrice to his ball—once in a dress shimmering like starlight, once in a dress luminous as the moon, and once in a dress as golden and radiant as the sun on a summer day—only to discover that she was a scullery maid working in his own kitchen! needless to say she has been executed
