I can answer quite a few questions regarding Classical Greek & Roman Mythology. Since answers can be sent by email, I may also include descriptive pictures also to help you understand better about the character or story your query is about.

Experience in the area

I became interested in the subject at a very early age, and learnt more and more as I grew up by visiting libraries and browsing through the internet. I believe to have a very wide knowledge on the subject.

Education/Credentials

Primary (3-10 years), Secondary (10-16 years) and Post-secondary (16-19 years) education.

What do you like about this subject?

The fascinating stories behind each character

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I don't have any particular area I wish to know more about. I hope I'll learn more as I grow up...

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Greek & Roman mythology is the exact same thing except that gods have different names! This happened because Romans 'stole' Greek myth and made it their own!

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

The Greek Gods and Goddesses lived a life as much human as humans themselves! Zeus was an adulterer, Aphrodite a lustful deity, Hera incredibly jealous...they were not the perfection one must reach for as are religions set for today, but Greeks rather thought that, since some things were left to happen by the all-knowing gods of Olympus, it must have meant they did them themselves!!

oh, why I have for you the perfect myth! it's the origin of what we know today as the echo!    Echo was a fair nymph, as are all nymphs in Greek mythology. Her single problem was her constant talk & gossip
