The Mytheum retells the myths of the world's pantheons, beginning with the Greeks and moving on to the Norse, the Egyptians, and further afield. These are told as stories, the way they were meant to be heard, but nothing is invented. Every article ends with the ancient sources it draws on, each one named and given its date.
Myths come down to us in many versions. Rather than flatten them into one tidy account, we name the variants and say which source gives which, and where a familiar detail is a later embellishment, we say so. The art is classical, in the public domain, and credited on every piece.
Why sources matter
A quoted line comes from a named translation, not a paraphrase dressed up in quotation marks. Where the scholars disagree, the disagreement is part of the telling. The aim is simple: you should be able to trace anything here back to where it comes from, and read a good story on the way.
