Can anyone tell me good sites about Scandanavian folklore etc? Why is there no Odin? There have been plenty of little
references to Roman& Minoan etc cultures, but there has been very little on them- have I missed any eps with Greco/Roman ties? I'm interested in all of the sources of mythology. Can anyone tell me of any good fanfic with celtic origins? There's a lot of questions! I'm currently doing some research on Pompeii-does anyone have any good stuff about it? I'd love to discuss nething like rthis w/neone, so HI!

Hi Skip,

Was a bit windy. If you go to the SGC (http://www.sgc-uk.com) and choose the HMDB link from the main menu then choose characters / Races etc you will find little icons that say click for historical / factual etc. These will link you to the types of sites you are after.

Have fun

Later,
