GENEALOGICAL CHARTS
This page contains geneological tables for many of the most important figures in Greek mythology. The tables were created in 1992 by myself, and I spent a great deal of time recently trying to get them up to scratch. Oh, by the way, its a very good idea to use a fixed-width font to view these tables.

Sources
I used a number of sources to compile the data. My goal was to tie as many separate trees together as possible to show all interrelations among localities. See my page of sources(when I get it made) for information on how to get a copy of important sources.
