There are times, no doubt, when you wonder about mythical stories or characters. Sometimes these woderings come on the heels of questions from a four-year-old, such as "What's a Jack o' Lantern?" You pause and think, "Hmm. I really have no idea." But now, thanks to this handy web site, you can look up all manner of such items in the Encyclopedia Mythica.

Among others, there are sections on Mythology (by region or type - Greek, Roman and the like), Folklore, Bestiary, and Heroes. There's an excellent search engine and you can even quiz your knowledge on things nythical. There's lots here but it can be a life saver *if* you can figure out a way to delay the answer to that four-year-old!
