REVIEW:
This is an outstanding resource for a very particular subject matter, another great example of the power
of information on the WWW. It is an encyclopedia on mythology, magic, myths, legends, folklore from all
over the world and from all times. The user searches alphabetically by category (such as Greek Mythology),
or by keyword search (among other options). The hierarchical setup of pages is well thought out, and in
addition uses frames very effectively to get the user to the information they want to see. (There is also
a non-frame version of this site for those who need it)
