Images of Gods and Mythological Characters

[don'cha just love alliterations?]

Pictures of Gods How did Douglas McCarthy slip in here now? Well, I did say gods...

Right now this looks a tad haphazard, mainly because I wanted to post it as soon as I could. I receive a lot of requests for different images, and here's a small sampling of what I've collected and scanned, stored on various membership pages that I have. I apologize for not providing descriptions for each of these as time does not allow me [read: I'm too lazy at the moment...] But hopefully I will be adding short narratives to accompany and clarify the images. And, at least till everyone receives 56-kbps capability, these are separately linked to increase bandwidth.

Feel free to utilize any of these as I completely understand how difficult it is to find these types of images on the web. However, please do not link directly to these [as I periodically move them around and rename them] and remember Netiquette: contact me or sign my guestbook to let me know how they will be used. And please, no more complaints such as, "There's no picture of Hestia!" or "These are too small!". If you have any grievances, I suggest you mosey on down to the library, then purchase yourself a scanner. [Okay, sorry, but some people can get really nasty about what I do or do not have...it's like, get over it! I do this for my own pleasure as much as anyone else's, so why should anyone else worry about it? ] Most are JPEGs, some are GIFs, and a few I converted to transparent backgrounds.

Enjoy!
