It will all focus on greek mythology (including facts and links to more information for convenience) and be a type of scavenger hunt.
It should work for all types of readers (not just fantasy fans).
I'm going to try to have it ready by February.
I thought it might be fun to examine how much greek mythology has influenced literature and storytelling.
