Questions
Is it just Wikipedia in a PDF?
No. Wikipedia is a scattered starting point — you open a tab for one god and twelve more, and retain nothing. This archive is the opposite discipline: every figure written to the same shape, cited to the same standard, and set beside its neighbours so the patterns show. It's the reference we wanted and couldn't find.
How do I read it?
It's a hyperlinked PDF. Open it in any reader on any device — tap the table of contents or the outline pane to move between pantheons and entries. Read it cover-to-cover for wonder, or keep it on your desk as the reference you reach for.
Is the mythology accurate?
Every entry is drawn from the primary ancient texts — Hesiod, Homer, the Eddas, the Pyramid Texts, the Mabinogion, Gilgamesh — and cites them. Where the sources disagree, the myths are given as myths, not stated as settled fact.
What do I get, and can I keep it?
An instant download, yours to keep forever, with free updates as the archive grows. No subscription, no account.
