5. MYTHOLOGY
-
This is a very comprehensive Heracles site that tells every
aspect of his story with lots of vase depictions of the story and other
images to help. The site is on Perseus, but it is mercifully fast, not
slow like the rest of Perseus.
Herakles: http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/Herakles/index.html
-
This has many thumbnails of Zeus, and others, on vases, modern
European paintings, seals, etc. (The text is in Greek!) If you want
to see the images of the other deities, try going to the URL bar, and
substitute for the name Zeus, the name of some other major Greek
deity, such as Hera or Hermes:
http://www.astrologicon.org/theologia/zeus/zeus_gallery.htm
-
Theoi.com is a premier myth site with top notch art on it, including
the images of deities, monsters, and other mythological characters.
These images all come from ancient vases, frescoes, statues, and
mosaics. The compilation of JPGs on this site is unequaled anywhere
that I have seen, except for the Perseus project. However, this site
is infinitely quicker and thus more accessible than Perseus. To get to
the art, click on Galleries. There is very extensive information on
any number of subjects: http://www.theoi.com/index.html
-
Greek Mythology Link is a very extensive mythology site with many nice
European paintings that illustrate the various deities, etc. Maps are
also included:

7. ENCYCLOPEDIC/REFERENCE SITES
-
Lacus Curtius
- Bill Thayer’s incredibly encyclopedic site: http://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/home.html
-
This is the Livius site and Bill Thayer, author of Lacus
Curtius, writes that this site has original scholarly essays, yet
simply and beautifully written, on Roman political figures and
institutions, and Roman Germania, illustrated with good maps and
photographs as appropriate; but also on religion, chronology, various
other topics. Part of an even vaster site covering the ancient
civilizations of Anatolia, Carthage, Egypt, Greece, Israel,
Mesopotamia, and Persia: http://www.livius.org/home.html

This is the Livius page with a list of Roman information:

This a website on the Punic Wars by a Lebanese-American. He is not a
