Can I please have a link to a site where I can choose a good Greek myth for a report? (not 2 long please)?

Answer 1

I also like the story of Persephone and her mother Demeter. There's also Narcissus, who fell in love with his own reflection in a pool of water and that is why people who are overly self-involved or conceited are called narcissistic. Jason and the Argonauts are pretty interesting, too. You can always Google "greek myths" or check out the site I'm including below which I found by searching Webring. Looks like a decent source. I actually learned a lot from watching the old Hercules and Xena tv shows a few years ago. I know they took a lot of liberties with the myths, but the shows led me to read up on them.

I hope you don't intend to just copy stuff from a website. Get some leads on the internet, go to the library, but write your own report.

Answer 2

This website has links to greek myths on the left column.

Check out this website:

Here are just the first two on their list:
Aphrodite
Goddess of Love
According to Hesiod (Theogony, line 190), when Kronos (Cronos) had cut off his father’s members, he tossed them into the sea. The immortal flesh eventually spread into a circle of white foam... from this foam, Aphrodite was created. Her name literally means foam-born. She was attended by Eros (the primal god of Love) and Himeros when she was first born but when she stepped ashore on the island of Kypros (Cyprus) she was a “modest and lovely Goddess”, since known as the Lady of Kypros. Her gentle domain was intended to be “the sweetness of love” and “the whispering of girls” but her adventures, and the adventures of her children, caused as much misery and bloodshed as any of the immortals (except for Ares (the god of War) and Athene (Athena), they thrived on the sanguine).

Apollon
The immortal son of Zeus and Leto
The name usually appears in the Greek texts as Apollon, or Phoibos Apollon, Phoibos meaning ‘shining’ or ‘bright’. Leto traveled far and wide to find the suitable birthplace for Apollon. She finally came to the rocky island of Delos and knew that this would be the birthplace of her glorious son. The goddess, Delos, made Leto swear a great oath on the river Styx that her new son, Phoibos, would not abandon his birthplace and that he would always keep his temple on the humble island. Leto agreed, Apollon was soon to be born on Delos.

After nine days and nights of travail, Phoibos was born with Rhea, Dione, Themis, Ikhnaian and Aphrodite (goddess of Love) attending. He did not nurse at his mothers breast, instead, he was given nectar and ambrosia. He burst from the crib and announced his intentions: to play the lyre and carry the curved bow. Known as the twin of Artemis and also referred to as the Striker from Afar (Hymn to Apollon). The seventh day of each month is holy to Apollon. (The Works and Days, line 770+)

Good luck!
