    Many important figures who rate netlinks pages of their own do not yet have their own guide or guest written article. A box on the right of each A-Z page will give you access to information on these men and women. Mythological people and creatures have their own index.
    Please note: Greek names may be transliterated into English in different ways. If you do not find the name you want, try replacing 'c' with 'k', 'y' with 'u', 'e' with 'i', 'u' with 'o' and final 'm' with 'n'.
