My
Pinterest account is a business account, thanks to the graciousness
of the company owners. It also includes collections that are not
business-related. The boards had been created when the account was a
personal account and even though I converted to a business account, I kept
the my pinboards.
One of my favorite personal collections is Legends, Myths,Fables, Folklore, Culture.
"Pegasus is one of the best known creatures in Greek mythology. He is a winged divine stallion also known as a horse usually depicted as pure white in color. He was sired by Poseidon, in his role as horse-god, and foaled by the Gorgon Medusa." Wikipedia
If you have some free time, you really should visit and peruse my pins. My collection includes what the usual that Westerners have come to expect when you say the word “mythology”, i.e. winged horses, unicorns and Greco-Roman gods and goddesses.
But there are
also pins for anything and everything from Poliahu,the Hawaiian snow goddess TO A List of Poisonous Plants and Herbs and Their Lore.
Collected some information about nymphs. Publishing the post here and will share it via Pinterest. Enjoy!
(P.S. I'm also expanding my collection to Tumblr. See my first reblogged post below.)

The Seven Kings of Rome
The Seven Kings of Rome
There was once a group of villages on seven hills which grew into an empire. But how did it happen? During the reign of Emperor Augustus, the historian Livy (Titus Livius) gathered myths, legends, folklore (possibly adding in facts and information that could be verified or authenticated by others) and wrote down the story of how the Roman Empire came to be.
