Greek Mythology
Hello!
Can anyone direct me to a place I can find a shortish version of the Greek mythology behind the constellations? I doubt this has much resonance for you science-heads but all help is appreciated! Cheers Olv.

Stone me, I've used the site since Pontius was a pilot and I've never
noticed that. Oh. I thought he was a Pilates instructor. Or maybe the inventor of that pastime. Seems I've been barking up the wrong jolly old tree. Thanks awfully. Martin

More details of this and other suggestions at: http://www.astunit.com/books/mythology.htm and http://www.astunit.com/books/uk-mythology.htm Excellent general myth resource is: http://home.comcast.net/~chris.s/myth.html For myths behind the constellations (not limited to Greek), see Staal's _The New Patterns in the Sky_. My inclination if I wanted Greek stuff would be to read Staal, then flesh it out with Robert Graves's _Greek Mythology_.
