Hi, thanks a heap for swinging by. I sincerely appreciate the visit and the nice comment you posted. Of course, I know a lot about Greek, Roman, Norse, etc., myths. I still remember memorizing the immortal olympians and their counterparts in the order of importance. I cannot promise to give fullest account of the earliest gods and goddesses. I will probably dwell more on the their association with specific aspects of life.
Have a grand time!
