Ralph Waldo Emerson
Luckily we've got a whole bunch of literary entertainment at our disposal.
Here in the US, the most widely-known mths are pretty much all Greek and - to a lesser extent - Roman. The gods of the two pantheons are often confused, somewhat rightfully as the two pantheons are quite similar.
- MythMan.com offers nice reference help with the Greek gods
- MythWeb.com offers more of the same, nicely presented
- Winged Sandals doesn't have as much info but is a lot more fun to play around on
- Mythography does a nice job presenting the Roman pantheon
- Encyclopedia Mythica has information on lots of gods, this section on the Norse
- Wikipedia always has info on just about any subject
- Gareth Long has a good essay comparing Greek to Norse mythology
- GodChecker.com offers the most comprehensive information on the web
- Flickr has a nice set of Lego gods and goddesses
- Thorshof offers you some help in "Choosing A Heathen Diety"

Norse mythology just makes me think of bad jokes...
You're thor?
hee hee hee...that always cracks me up...
oh, and in looking at Norse gods-b/c I want to know what other names the drives at work could possibly be called, did you see that there is a wolf god named "Fenrir"? That's the same name as the notorious werewolf in the HP books, Fenrir Grayback...sorry, but I just love how Rowling comes up with the names for her characters...about as much as I love how Jay Hosler names his bees in Clan Apis...
