Hercules and Xena
-
Certain characters have not yet turned up in my researches in the traditional
sources, so I've used the popular Universal Television shows
Hercules, The Legendary Journeys
and
Xena, Warrior Princess
for them.
The relations of the major gods are mostly from Homer (Iliad and
Odyssey and Hesiod (Theogony).
Where those two ancient authors disagree, I have mostly chosen Homer's version.
The minor deities and relations are mostly from
Grimal,
which I recommend highly to those interested in this subject.
The Internet Classics Archive and the Perseus Project at Tufts University
have done us all a great service by putting Hesiod and many other classical
authors online.
For example,
the Samuel Butler translations of The Iliad and The Odyssey
are available through
