Directory of Folklore and Mythology Electronic Texts

There's a directory of folklore and mythology electronic texts -- interestingly arranged by theme instead of title -- at http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/folktexts.html .

Actually this page is A-M. N-Z is on a second page. The theme listing starts at "Abducted by Aliens" and goes to "Yggdrasil." Each theme has at least one story listed with it; click on the name of the theme to get the list of stories (all on one page!) Most stories are listed with the country of origin and sometimes their date.

In addition to the mythology and folklore electronic texts, there's also a page for Germanic Myths, Legends, and Sagas (a short but well-annotated link list) and a related link list for folk and fairy tales.
