General
Note3
This is my first Hypertext type application on the AMIGA, previously my experience has been PC
based, and represents on and off approximately six months of work. Most of this time was spent
researching the subject matter which in the case of Classical Mythology can get extremely involved.
The complete registered version includes 170 cross referenced entries and 55 colour hi-res pictures.
Note4
Technical
Note5
This application was created under the "Hyperbook" system developed by "Gold Disk". The pictures
were originally scanned on a PC in 256 colours at various resolutions and required ten disks! They
were converted to the AMIGA as hi-res interlaced 16 colour pictures where they were re-touched and
squeezed onto two disks. I choose to use a hi-res graphic mode as although it results in quite small
pictures it's the only mode that offers a nice high level of detail. The music is a standard soundtracker
module played as a background task with "Noiseplayer".

As this is the shareware version of "Tome of Myths" it only contains the first section of the book
covering Classical Mythology. If you like this software then you should consider registering it, because
for the measly sum of
4 (inc. UK p&p), I will send you the complete version. This includes the second
section covering Tolkien & Folklore, and ships on three disks.

CLASSICAL MYTHOLOGY
"BodyText"
Classical mythology encompasses the lives and times of the Greek and Roman gods. Some purists claim that
these are the only true myths and that all others are merely heathen beliefs. There is no denying that they are
the most complex and sizeable of the the mythologies, and so they should be as two of the world's largest
early civilisations lived by them.
The Greek myths have been popularised recently by films like "Clash of the Titans" and "Jason and the
Argonauts". Although these films are fine as an introduction to the stories of Ancient Greece, they should not
be taken too literally, as they tend to be a mish-mash of several stories bolted together for maximum
entertainment value.
This does not claim to be an authoritative guide to the classical myths, but hopes to include all those
characters central to the popular stories.

Hercules
). In their search for the Golden
Fleece, Jason and his crew, the Argonauts, visited many strange lands and had encounters with numerous
mythological beasts. These included six-armed giants,
nymphs
harpies
Talos
, and the Clashing Rocks.
When they located the Fleece the ruler of the land, Aeetes, set Jason a trial to complete before he would
allow him to have the prize he sort. This involved ploughing a field with great fire breathing bronze oxen, and
then sowing the teeth of the Cadmus' dragon, from which armed warriors sprang. However Aeetes refused to
let Jason take the Fleece, and so with the help of Aeetes' daughter, Medea, Jason stole the Fleece killing the
dragon that guarded it. Jason and Medea then escaped together and later married.

Minos and the Minotaur
"BodyText"
Minos was king of Crete and one of
Zeus'
many children to mortal women. In order to impress his peers
Minos prayed for the gods to deliver him a magnificent bull from the sea, agreeing to sacrifice it to
Poseidon
when it arrived. To the awe of his people a marvelous white bull emerged from the water, it was so splendid
in fact that Minos could not bring himself to kill it, and so sacrificed a normal bull instead. This angered
Poseidon greatly and so he made Pasiphae, Minos' wife, fall in love with the bull. Pasiphae poured love and
attention on the bull but to no avail, until she ordered
Daedalus
to build her an artificial cow. This enabled
her to climb inside the cow and be served by the bull. This resulted in the birth of the Minotaur, a monster
with a human body but with the head of a great fighting bull. Minos dared not destroy the Minotaur for fear
that he may offend Poseidon again, so he ordered Daedalus to build him a
Labyrinth
in which he could keep

Odysseus
"BodyText"
Odysseus is the lead hero in the saga, the Iliad, by the Greek author Homer. It tells of Odysseus' role in the
Trojan War
, which included the idea to build the
Trojan Horse
, but mainly deals with his trip home after the
war. This included his visit to the land of the
Cyclops
owned by
Polyphemus
, who captured Odysseus and
twelve of his companions in a cave and proceeded to eat them. Odysseus managed to blind Polyphemus
with a burning stake and then escape by holding onto the underneath of the Cyclops' sheep as he let them
out. His journey also took him onto the river
into
Hades
where he spoke with the ghosts of dead heroes
who cave him advice for his travels. This advice enabled him to pass the
Scylla
and the
Charybdis
, and also
allowed him to disregard the sound of the
Sirens
by placing wax in his ears. Odysseus encountered many
other problems on his trip home, including countless ship wrecks, but eventually arrived many years after he
had originally set out. In fact so long had it been that no one recognised him, not even his wife. So an
archery contest was held to determine who should be the suitor to Odysseus' wife. However only Odysseus
himself could string and fire his mighty bow, and so at last he was reunited with his wife.

Theseus
"BodyText"
Theseus grew up with his mother away from his father who was Aegeus king of Athens. When he was old
enough Theseus set out to visit his father, however instead of travelling the safer route by sea, he journeyed
over the dangerous land route. He did this as he was in search of adventure and wished to clear the land of
the robbers and brigands that had become established. Upon reaching Athens he learnt that his father was
preparing the ritual offering of seven men and seven maidens to
Minos
for sacrifice to the
Minotaur
. Horrified
by the concept Theseus offered to go as one of the seven and attempt to slay the monster. If he succeeded
he would sail back on white sails as opposed to the black ones he would embark upon. When he reached
Crete he fell in love with Ariadne, King Minos' daughter. She supplied Theseus with a sword and a ball of
thread which he trailed behind himself as he traversed the
Labyrinth
. He eventually found the heart of the
maze, killed the Minotaur, and then using the thread traced his way back out of the Labyrinth. However upon
returning to Athens he forgot to use white sails and his father fearing Theseus had died threw himself off a cliff.
Theseus therefore became king of Athens, where he ruled wisely and well.

Trojan War & Horse
"BodyText"
Troy was a rich and prosperous city on the coast of the Aegean sea, whose very walls had been built with
help from the gods. The seeds of war were sown when one of the sons of the king of Troy visited Sparta and
seduced the ruler's wife. The Greeks were so infuriated by this that they built a fleet of a thoasand ships and
together with help from great heroes like
Hercules
they mounted an attack on the city of Troy. However the
walls of Troy held strong and the siege lasted ten years. Then
Odysseus
suggested the building of the Trojan
Horse, or Wooden Horse of Troy as it is properly known. This horse was large enough to conceal twenty
three men inside of it and was given to the Trojans as a gift to mark the end of the war. The Greeks then burnt
their camps and retreated back to their ships. The Trojans in a blind state of euphoria from their apparent
victory, gladly accepted the gift and brought it inside the city. Then under cover of darkness the concealed
Greek soldiers emerged and opened the gates of Troy. Thus allowing the full Greek army to enter the city and
ransack it, enslaving all it's people.

"Typhon"
"BodyText2"
A beautiful solitary creature that had the head and body of a horse, the legs of an antelope, the tail of a lion
or horse, and the beard of a goat. However it's most dominant distinguishing feature was the long, sharp,
twisted horn growing from the middle of it's forehead. Although this horn was a very effective weapon it's
primary function was it's ability to neutralise any poison, and so was greatly prized by hunters.
