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". "About" "Resume" OK, got that Note1 Registration Note2 About Note3 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.

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.

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 the beast. However the Minotaur soon developed a taste for human flesh and so Minos ordered that the Athenians should send sacrifices for the monster as a condition to a truce. Every nine years the Athenians sent seven youths and seven maidens until Theseus came to slay the beast.

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.

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.
