Where can I find the greek myths in order?

Question

I am looking for a website or book that has the Greek myths in order from creation and on. But I cant find them in order. Is there an order? Or are there simply stories? I really want to understand Greek mythology but all the websites I find seem really disorganized or messy, and I cant find anything I'm looking for. So I'd like to find them in order, if this is possible. Please help.

Answer 1

Don't be too dependable on websites! Ok, I'm not trying to advertise you a book but it is more useful to buy a book so that you won't keep on hanging with you PC or laptop every time you want to read the story. It is more useful to read in a book than in your PC/laptop screen and you can read it even you're waiting for something or someone. It won't take you browsing the internet, etc.

Ok, the book was entitled Mythology by Edith Hamilton. She's a good editor or whatsoever you may call her.

Answer 2

You should go to the public library and find a book on Greek/Roman mythology. If you want to know everything, it's going to take more than one day of research. Start at the beginning, of course. Here's a link about creation:

Answer 3

Look for Greek Myths by Robert Graves, Graves has a good understanding and espouses them well!

Answer 4

Check out the chart or the info on each Greek Titan and God...

P.S.: If the pic is too small, just scroll your mouse wheel up while pressing Ctrl.

Answer 5

Go on a museum to learn more or in a library.

Answer 6

Look for a translation of Hesoid's Theogony!

Answer 7

I recommend "Mythology" by Edith Hamilton. It's a great book, it tells you gods (Roman, Greek and Norse) and darn near every myth in a good order. ( ;

Answer 8

i wish i could find a website like that, but most sites have a link to another site that could be helpful.  when looking up greek mythology, in case you already havent, its a good idea to start with the creation of the titans, the olympians, and the demi-gods, probably in that order. if you like fiction, there is a series of books by rick riordan called "Percy Jackson and the Olympians." it is a kids series, but it is funny to no end, and it uses the greek gods and goddesses in the present. in the book, they are still here... look it up, it is an amazing series.

Answer 9

Order is a rough thing in mythology. There were always new versions and interpretations of the stories being told, new stories being inserted inside/before old stories. Still, you might try the major works in some semblance of order of happening. Start with Hesiod's Theogony, then try  Apollonius' Argonautica (the story of the search for the Golden Fleece by the first generation of Greek heroes), then go on to Homer's Iliad and Odyssey (the exploits of the second generation of Greek heroes). Along with that, I would agree with some of the other posters here that you should check out Robert Graves' "Greek Myths" and Edith Hamilton's "Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes." Hamilton is a little better for starters and she's really fun, though either book can give you a sense of when the different myths were, relative to each other. You might also consider Bulfinch's "Mythology: The Age of Fable."
