Personally I like Greek mythology the best, its one of the longest surviving cultures and is very interesting. I particularly like the many stories surrounding the birth of Aphrodite.

I study Greek Mythology for religious reasons. But sometimes I have a lot of trouble, because I have no outlet like a class at school, so I must find books myself or information on the internet. Sometimes I buy a book only to discover that the information contradicts itself or, worse, that they substitue Roman names (bad pet peeve, right there).
So my question, I guess would be, do you have any book recomendations, or favorite translations? A point in the right direction would be nice mrgreen Thank you!

There's also a website I found a while back called "Women in Greek Mythology" that I found very useful. The author of the website translated the less-known myths so it was easier to understand and, basically, in a more common and "modern" language, I guess. I'd get the link for you, but I lost it with my old computer's death.... I'll find that again sometime and post it here. >.< Sorry.
