Greek Mythology
  1. http://www.theoi.com/ - this website would be very good for using as a source. It is very detailed and has alot of links to different things. The best thing would be that they have a link for its on library to look at the book were they get there quotes from and a like to their encyclopedia.
  2. http://www.the-patheon.com/ - this is a pretty good web site. it is very detailed. it has charts and links to related persons. it has alink to let you know where they got there information from. there are also links to other sites that can give you even more information.

Blog Assignment {brittney jones}

The three topics i would be interested to write about are: greek mythology, the different stereotypes in america, and also body image.

Greek Mythology is something that i have been interested in since i was very young. More than likely every since Hercules. The thing that put my curiosity into overdrive was founding out that the greek version and Disney's version were to completely different things. Over the years i have only become more interested in the many stories they have.

Stereotypes in America are here to stay. Even though they're not always good they're interesting to know. There are so many different types out there. It seems as though America has one for everyone. I would really enjoy writing on this topic to get a better understanding on how they came about and why they carry so much influence on people.

Body image can be kinda of difficult and touchy. So many different things come up when it comes up in any conversation. I would like to write about this simply because i find it interesting. I feel connected to this because i to like any other female cares a lot about my image. 

Out of these three topics the one i already have a pretty good amount of knowledge on is greek mythology. Greek mythology consist of the Titans, Olympian Gods, other Gods and Goddess, myths, creatures, different figures and places. Zeus was the youngest son of the Titans and became king of the Gods. Some of the Goddess were Athena and Aphrodite. Of course Hercules was a greek hero. Some of the creatures were Medusa, the cyclops, giants, and Hades three headed dog Cerberus. There are a few myths such as ones about Zeus's many lovers, the way Athena was born and also the creation of the world. 

This is pretty much all I know....... feel free to comment!
