Read Greek and Roman Myths
from Bulfinch's Age of Fable
"Prometheus
and Pandora"
"Juno
and Her Rivals"
"Pygmalion"
"Cupid

"Athena"
Read all the myths regarding Athena
from this source; follow the links at the bottom of each page. This source
went offline this year (it worked in the Fall), so this link is from the
Internet Archive. You want to take the link to 'Athena and the Contest of
Athens' and then from that page take the link to 'Medusa' and try not to
dwell on how well Uma Thurman did in that role in the Percy Jackson movie.
