About MythologyDB

A database of 112 gods, heroes, and legendary figures from 22 mythological traditions. From Greek Olympus to Norse Asgard, from Egyptian deserts to Japanese islands.

Each figure page gives the tradition the figure belongs to and their role, such as god of the sky, trickster or culture hero, followed by a summary of their best-known myths and family ties. Browse the larger traditions from the home page or search by name, role or tradition. Myths exist in many versions, so the summaries follow the most widely told accounts.
