The Greek Mythology Link (1997) is a collection of myths based on Genealogical Guide to Greek Mythology (1993) and represents, in several respects, an expansion of it.
Several peer reviews may be read in this page. One review comes from the Classical Association of Canada. Other reviewers, like Anna Lambraki (publisher of the Greek magazine "Archaeology") or Johan Flemberg (Sweden, Classical Archaeology), are distinguished classicists.
The Swedish Council for Research in the Humanities and the Social Sciences (Vetenskapliga rådet - humaniora och samhällsvetenskap) granted Genealogical Guide to Greek Mythology an aid of publication in 1993. The publisher was Prof. Paul Åström (Astrom Editions), an archaeologist who made significant contributions to the field of Mediterranean archaeology. Prof. Paul Åström passed away in 2008, but Astrom Editions continues to exist and now carries over 600 academic titles.
The author of the Greek Mythology Link, Carlos Parada, has formerly lectured at the Department of Classics, Lund University (Sweden).
Counting thousands of pages and images, the Greek Mythology Link is probably the most complete encyclopedia on the Greek myths written in almost one century. |

Genealogical Guide to Greek Mythology
Digital edition.
Length: 1275 pages. File size 8.6 MB. ISBN 978-91-976473-6-6.
The Genealogical Guide to Greek Mythology (Digital Edition) is a dictionary counting more than 6500 entries, probably the most complete catalogue written in the last hundred years. This digital version (revised and augmented) is based on the main chapter of a hardcover edition with the same name, published in 1993.
The book is fully referenced, relying exclusively on primary sources (authors from the period between 800 BC and AD 600). The chapter Abbreviations serves as a complete list of sources.
By means of a simple code, a wide variety of information is provided in a compact and direct form, to do with birth, parents, mates, children, circumstances of death, and biographical description. The code facilitates cross references, and summarizes each piece of information to its original source(s). Persons with the same name receive distinct entries, further clarified by a subscript numeral. The name of each character also appears in searchable Greek script.
An excellent companion for the scholar and for the interested reader of the myths.

The Heart of the Idyll
by Gabriel Mirand
(2007)
Description
The narrator, a middle-aged lecturer (classicist) drained by the Departmental drudgery, decides to discover "creativity" and penetrate "the nature of things" during a sabbatical leave which he might obtain thanks to some shady maneuvers conceived by his wife. A brief erotic reverie involving a student (and subsequent erotic adventure) has unexpected repercussions both in his life and in that of the university town, providing him with some existential lessons with the help of which he reviews certain decisive moments of his past. The narrator somehow succeeds in deceiving himself almost habitually, and yet manages to achieve some vital insights during the 27 days covered by this story.

Reviews
"Narrative expertly controlled..."
"The most impressive achievement in this book is the degree to which the narrator enters the main character's consciousness and lays bare its workings..."
"Not only are all the allusions and references to Classical literature and myth impressively handled in the narrative, but they are also, on occasion, extremely funny."
Richard Skinner, author of
The Red Dancer: The Life and Times of Mata Hari

THE MYTHS OF HELLAS is an exhaustive work by Carlos Parada, author of Genealogical Guide to Greek Mythology (1993) and creator of the web site Greek Mythology Link (1997).
The Myths of Hellas represents an expansion of the author's previous work, and is the mature result of decades of acquaintance with the myths' timeless lessons in beauty, signficance, clarity and simplicity.
The Charts and Maps, contained in Volume III (142 pages) of THE MYTHS OF HELLAS complement the first two volumes of this fully referenced work, previously published in 2022. Volume III contains more than 100 Genealogical charts, 12 Contextual Charts, and 9 detailed Maps.
Volume II (515 pages, 470,062 words) includes extensive lists, tales of cities and peoples, throne successions and genealogies, comprehensive reports on the Theban and Trojan Wars, a geographical reference with more than 1000 names, lucid articles on relevant mythological subjects, and a complementary dictionary with references to more than 6000 characters.
Volume I (389 pages, 341,333 words) contains more than 200 detailed biographies of the most important characters.
Interlaced ancient quotations give depth to the narrative. The mythical accounts are based exclusively on primary sources (more than 60 ancient authors) which appear close to the material they support.
The three volumes are in A4 format. Volumes I and II have two columns. You may request via email a PDF detailing the contents of all three volumes.
