About Us
Theoi.com is the home of the Theoi Project, the largest and most comprehensive reference website dedicated to Greek mythology and representations of mythological figures in ancient Greek art and literature. It was created by Aaron J. Atsma from Aukland, New Zealond, with help from the libraries of the University of Aukland and Leiden University in the Netherlands. Established in 2000, the website contains more than 1,500 pages and 1,200 images. The website also has a library of classical literature on the theme of Greek mythology, including the works of many of the lesser-known poets.
AIn Aaron's own words, "The aim of the project is to provide a comprehensive, free reference guide to the gods (theoi), spirits (daimones), fabulous creatures (theres) and heroes of ancient Greek mythology and religion."
