Answers to Common Questions about Ancient Greece and Mythology
Squidoo, the odd service I use to host Ancient Greece Odyssey, has a tool that tracks what phrases people have Googled to find a lens.
I noticed a lot of fact-finding queries like "ancient Greece timeline" and "pictures of Greek gods and goddesses." After a while, it became clear a lot of students were dropping by looking for Cliff Notes answers. I've got a ton of information embedded in my travel diary, but it's not organized as a quick reference; it's a story, an journey. Some people need "just the facts, ma'am."
I don't want to do students' homework for them, but I've prepared mini-answers to their top questions and provided links to more in-depth sites on those topics.
