Encyclopedia Mythica?

Question

Does anyone know how reliable Encyclopedia Mythica is? Can I trust their information if I'm doing a research project on Arthurian Legends?

Answer 1

Encyclopedia Mythica is an internet encyclopedia of folklore, mythology, and religion. It covers the mythology of most of the world, with sections spanning Europe, Africa, Asia, the Middle East, both North and South America, and Oceania. This encyclopedia was founded in June 1995 as a small site with about 300 entries, and established with its own domain name March 29, 1996. As of December 2005 this encyclopedia had 7,143 entries.

Reliability
Caution should be exercised when using Encyclopedia Mythica as a source. For example, the entries relating to Oceanic and Polynesian deities are often unreliable in that they tend to erroneously classify Micronesian, Melanesian, and Fijian gods as Polynesian, conflate information from several cultures, or erroneously identify minor characters from legends as gods or goddesses. Another example concerns a burial cave named Auraka on the island of Mangaia in the Cook Islands. In the Encyclopedia Mythica article, Auraka the burial cave becomes Auraka, the Polynesian god of death. Similar caution should be exercised concerning Celtic figures, some of whom seem not to be referred to elsewhere.
