The Dictionary is extensively cross referenced, lending itself ideally, to the hypertext environment. This First Hypertext Edition is taken from Dr. Brewer's substantially revised and extended edition of 1894. This is an encyclopedia on mythology, folklore, mysticism, and more. It contains hundreds of definitions of gods and goddesses, supernatural beings and legendary creatures and monsters from all over the world. Mythologies covered include Chinese, Greek, Latvian, Norse, Persian and Roman.
Entries are browsable and searchable .
Specifically, I am focusing on those English words whose origins reach far back into Ancient Greek and Roman mythology. Items can be browsed alphabetically. Wallis also provides themed lists that show how mythology influenced terms used in astronomy, calendars, popular culture, and more. There are also links to other fairy tale resources. Arranged aphabetically, users can browse everything from popular fairytales to Russian ghost stories.
