Browse a Pantheon of Over 1000 Gods with Godchecker

More fun with mythology: if you're interested in learning about mythology and culture, you'll have a lot of fun with Godchecker. It's very tongue-in-cheek but there's useful information here. Godchecker's at http://www.godchecker.com .

Godchecker starts out with a cartoony front page with lots of selections. Visit The Pantheons, which allow you to search by keyword for a god, browse for a particular kind of god (god of lettuce?) or browse through several cultures for a listing of their gods (there are nine cultures here, including Greek, Finnish, and Egyptian gods.)

Click on a culture and you'll get an overview of the culture (which is halfway between silly and serious) and on the left and alphabetical directory for the gods. Click on a god's name and you'll get a brief overview of the god (slightly silly in keeping with this site's tone) along with some core information about them and (rarely) a picture. (Most of the pictures I saw were "coming soon" notations.) There's other stuff on this site, too. You can check out the most popular gods on the site, visit the link list (the categories are on the left), and check out some interesting/strange articles.
