There are also useful, supplementary stacks on Maps, Brief Facts, Terms from Myth, Chronology, Name Etymology, and Alternative Spellings. You can even request a proper English pronunciation of most of the names. Like any good hypertext program, HyperMyth may at first overwhelm the user with its wealth of options. The burden is on the user to set a purposeful direction and maintain focus. A 252-page companion text provides virtually all of the same information on the disks in a more traditional, linear format.
Quantity discounts are available to college bookstores.
A new release from Intellimation offers a fascinating look at the contributions of classical architecture in both form and nomenclature. The visuals in this program are truly stunning, and the information presented is very thorough. Highlighted words in the descriptive essays can be called up in a glossary. One can switch between a digitized photograph, an overview map, and a graphic interpretation of the Forum to get different perspectives on all of the buildings involved. After getting a good look at this program, I was not surprised to find out that the author, Trey Cosgriff, had won a grand prize at the Apple Education Solutions HyperCard Contest in 1991, when he completed the first half on Greek architecture.
