The number one online resource I recommend for Hellenic polytheism is www.theoi.com. It has pages for nearly every deity or hero you can think of and lots of historical sources on each page. If you want to learn about a particular being, this is the place to go. Theoi.com's Library is also a great resource for primary sources. Sponde is a great resource for how to practice, but it's very Reconstructionist, so be aware that you don't have to be that strict if you don't plan to be a super strict Reconstructionist. Hellenion's calendar is super useful, and the rest of the site includes reading lists and other resources. Sacred-Texts is another great reading resource. Feel free to contribute your own online resources! What do you find most helpful?

I haven't checked on the exact accurateness of this, but it seems helpful: hellenicgods.org

Hellenicgods.org is very Orphic, so it's good to keep that in mind. eCauldron have a pretty good starter page. It's a bit old so some of the more social links might be out of date. |

Theoi is a decent resource for information on the gods. This site on the Delphic Maxims is helpful. These are good translations of the Orphic Hymns. Labrys has a good article on household worship.

Fortunately, there are a number of older texts that not only contain still useful information but have fallen into public domain and are commonly available online for free at places like Google Books: Prolegomena to the Study of Greek Religion by Jane Ellen Harrison Epilegomena to the Study of Greek Religion by Jane Ellen Harrison The Religion of Ancient Greece by Jane Ellen Harrison Ancient Art and Ritual by Jane Ellen Harrison Handbook of Greek Religion - Arthur Fairbanks The Home Life of the Ancient Greeks by Hugo Blümner A History of Ancient Greek Literature by Gilbert Murray Five Stages of Greek Religion by Gilbert Murray ONLINE RESOURCES / Classical Greek Literature: Hesiod - Theogony; Works and Days Homer - The Iliad; The Odyssey Homeric Hymns * Orphic Hymns * Delphic Maxims * = the translations most frequently preferred are those by Thomas Taylor and Apostolos Athanassakis In addition to theoi.com and sacred texts as noted by others, another invaluable source is the Perseus Project which is an exhaustive online resource for ancient Greek mythology, literature, and history. link: Perseus Project (Perseus Digital Library) |

Labrys has a good article on household worship. Labrys has also published an introductory book to household worship, which recently was translated into English and is now available through Create Space and Amazon. If you purchase directly from Labrys via CreateSpace they receive a larger percentage of the sale price. links: Book info, Hellenic Polytheism: Household WorshipCreateSpace store link |

I would also like to pipe in with a community thing that's been made for Hellenics and those curious. The Hellenic Round Table has discussions about once a week or so as they remember to get them put out. Topics are posted, based on Asks sent in from followers both practicing and curious, and people chime in with their points of view. |

I also have a blog that I discuss Hellenic Polytheism on... A while back I did a blog post on each of the Delphic Maxims. greekreconmommy.blogspot.com/ |
