Many Greek mythology websites use fancy fonts, larger than life graphics and colors. While it can be entertaining to look at, it can distract from the information a user is looking for and make the interactivity seem disorganized.
greekgodsandgoddesses.net makes available information about Greek gods and goddesses in an organized way that makes it easy for the user to interact as well as entertaining. The website gives information about almost all the characters of Greek mythology.

The websites interactivity doesn't vary that much. The only solid type of interactivity that it presents is feedback, the response of a system to any action done by the user. When on the home page, the user may move their curser over the topic they would like to read about and a drop down menu with more subtopics will appear (right). Many of the subtopics also have another menu appear when the curser is dragged over them. The user can choose from many different characters of Greek mythology to read about. The design is very easy to use. Very clear topics and labels.

Each description of Gods, goddesses, heroes, myths, or creatures has links throughout the page that the user can click on to take them to a new page. The new pages describe the mythological creature they were linked to and also provide more links.
At the bottom of each page is a section with more generalized helpful links. When the user clicks on the link named ´contact´ where users can send a message to the authors of the website. This is an example of personal communication. The user is transmitting information directly to the author in a synchronous fashion.
There is a lot of information to learn about Greek mythology. It can be very exciting but sometimes the excited ness can take away from the information.
greekgodsandgoddesses.net gives detailed and accurate information in an organized and interesting way without making the presentation overwhelming.
