Sponde!, an excellent and user-friendly introduction to Hellenic polytheism as a living faith, is back online again at a new site. If you are interested in a hands-on approach to the gods and goddesses of ancient Hellas, it is an excellent first step. It has my stamp of approval, for what its worth, [...]
