The religion of ancient Greece comprises hundreds of deities and an equal number of heroines and heroes. The following profiles provide a good place to explore these captivating figures.
A great deal of research has gone into the creation of these profiles, several of which have been expanded into pamphlet- and book-length publications that are available on Amazon.com. This has been a labor of love stemming from my extensive reading on Greek prehistory, repeated visits to Greece and travels to photograph related artwork in museums across Europe.
My latest publication, The Iliad—Who’s Who: An Illustrated Dictionary of the Gods, People, Places, and Animals in the Iliad, is available in two volumes on Amazon.com. There are over 1200 references including 477 maps and 170 photographs of ancient artifacts. The accuracy and scope of The Iliad—Who's Who makes it an indispensable resource and reference tool.
