Interest in greek mythology rises anew with the new number of retellings and adaptions...and misconceptions all around...
Claims like "that never happened" or "that's the roman version" are around a lot...but even if you wanted to learn more, where would you even start looking? Where do you begin your research for your next fic, or next discussion? Well...That's for you!
Here is the Post as DOCs to share outside of tumblr (gets updated)
Here's a list of source names, links to access them, maps, family trees & more
Where to access the texts:
ToposText
Database, interlinks all names and places, has almost all sources translated, can find all name mentions of place or character in the sources, has a map with the places
Perseus Collection Greek and Roman Materials (and Scaife Viewer)
Digital Library, nearly all main greek and roman sources, including OG language text and dictionary for those languages (is instable at times, try coming back a few hours/days later and it should be up again)
Theoi Greek Mythology
Database, has summary posts for individual heroes, creatures, gods and events, as well as many translations, has a search function
Most of these places have older translations for the epics, poems and hymns (with older language), places like Poetry In Translation and https://www.gutenberg.org often have newer translations available for free, though…with a bit of digging most translations even recent ones can be found online :)
Comparing several translations is also good if you want to make any arguments about what a text says without being able to read the text in the original language, does the text really say that or is it just this translation?
It also doesn't hurt to research a little about the author of a work as well to get context for which time and sociopolitical and personal situation they were writing in (it helps to do a quick search into the history of ancient greece too, i.e. epic writers writing during the 7th century BC had different agendas than playwrights of the 5th century during the persian wars, athenians during the conflicts with sparta, or later hellenistic writers after Alexander the Great)
Wikipedia: CAN be used, it's a good starting point, but check the sources cited as much as you can, rather than believing what the page itself says

Final Note
These things should not be gatekept, its time to share them freely
I wish I could offer even more sources via academic books and papers but I fear this would exceed my abilities considering the vastness of the topic of Greek Mythology! But this is a starting point :D Have fun!
Google Scholar has a lot of secondary sources (scholia commentary & theories), books about history, society, politics, flora & fauna, religion, culture, etc. of the time both of history and mythical history…if you have a friend in academia with university access (if you don’t have it yourself) you can ask them to check if they have access to the papers/books otherwise hidden behind insane paywalls, because a LOT of them are available as pdfs!
I also wish I had more visual/audio sources but this is smth I cant change :") I'm sure there's some good videos on youtube out there...somewhere x)
Feel free to contact me if you have more sources you want to add or any links don't work

learning languages is fun because in some areas youll be like "oh wow theres one word for this thing thats covered by 20 different words in english? thats so easy and convinient!" and then in other areas you'll be like "what the fuck do you mean you use different numbers depending on what kind of object youre counting. im going to kill myself."
#yep yep yep#I'm very sad that TOBS wasn't a 'regency romance' about a socially awkward 'young spinster' in a rambling/inconsiderate family#because I love ella bruccoleri I love indira varma and richard coyle and varada sethu#I would have loved a more-historically-accurate-than-bridgerton love story with that excellent cast#but making it P&P and so woefully misunderstanding the comedy of MANNERS austen actually wrote#(mary is not anxious or awkward or suffering from low self esteem she's got. amusingly. bad. manners.)#is just indicative of the general anti-intellectual pro-sentimentality state of popular entertainment today#and makes me sad#I actually have an easier time with the wholesale fantasy of Bridgerton because at least it's only claiming to be what it is#not to be actually adding anything of moral or intellectual value to the discussion of a legitimately brilliant woman's body of work
Again, I will not fight with 20-yo Austen purists, but I am copying the tags from a reblog of a post that I WILL NOT share, because I'm not here to get into it with them, but the bolded parts are really dumb because The Other Bennet Sister is very aware of what Pride & Prejudice is, but again, THIS ISN'T P&P!
We are not in Lizzie Bennet/Darcy world. We're in Mary's world.
I don't know if this person didn't watch TOBS or is just really bad at critical analysis, but the basis of Mary's character being both awkward and out of place amongst everyone else is literally a follow through from P&P.
This person says Mary has bad manners in P&P...does that not manifest itself as awkwardness for everyone who has to interact with her (hello Netherfield ball?) and would that not, for a character that's now in the driver's seat manifest itself as anxiety because they're very aware of the fact that they're out of step with everyone else around them? P&P Mary might be oblivious, but TOBS Mary isn't.
WHICH IS THE WHOLE POINT!
The "anti-intellectual, pro-sentimentality" dig is absolutely asinine. I've done more intellectual work above than the person in these tags did, and this is just a surface-level analysis based on good media literacy. How are you writing a whole dissertation about a show that you only watched two episodes of???
And slagging off Bridgerton so you can sit on some Regency romance high horse is dumb. TV is supposed to be entertaining. Enjoying something, HAVING FUN watching something is not a crime. Sentimentality is not a high moral failure. It means you're not a fucking robot.
Strange to see them complaining about anti intellectualism when the 'intellectual' position in this particular scenario would be to understand that reinterpretations and reimaginings of works that have passed into the public domain - our personal opinions of them notwithstanding - have every right to exist. Disapproving of them because of their differences with the original is, of course, normal. Interestingly enough, many a times that disapproval is rooted in one's sentiments for that specific work.

Smallville is so good, because it asks the important questions, like “what if Superman’s parents emotionally abused and manipulated him so now he’s just like depressed all the time? what if they taught him hurting and suffering would make him good so now he sees self harm as a way to morally posture? what if he views himself only as a commodity or a vessel for pain?” and then made that superman- and he has big sad wet eyes

My favorite ships are the ones where there’s nothing wrong with shipping them in canon but the default/go with what’s popular fanbases treat it like it’s the most deplorable most problematic piece of fiction to exist of all time and all the shippers are horrible people, and deserve endless harassment over it.
really fucking sucks that the only ways to get into space are to be a genius scientist or to have one William dollars. they should just take me to the ISS for a week because I'm a fun guy
