Greek Mythology

[ QUOTE ]
I know very little about it. Like pretty much nothing beyond 4 or 5 obvious 'who was the God of xxxx?'. I'm interested in learning all about it, not only because it seems interesting, but also because I'm a big fan of quiz shows and it seems to pop up daily.

But where do I start?

Just wanted to say I aced the Jeopardy final question just now (only 1 of 3 contestants got it, but it wasn't too hard)

What poisonous substance is named after a goddess of love?

I think you should read

Lattimore's translation of Homer's Iliad

along with a companion such as this one


That way you get the poetry, the story, and the background.
