HeroicStories
"Columnist Randy Cassingham created HeroicStories because ""You always hear about the people who do wrong, hurt others, take advantage, rob and steal. But they are the minority. HeroicStories are about everyday real people who step up to the challenge and help others when they’re needed."" But you won’t find these stories on the Web, rather you receive them via email three times a week. The HeriocStories newsletter is free, of course, and you can cancel at anytime. To whet your appetite, two sample stories and a small archive of recent newsletters are available at the Web site."

Heroes and Icons
"Time Magazine gives us ""twenty people who articulate the longings of the last 100 years, exemplifying courage, selflessness, exuberance, superhuman ability and amazing grace."" This list is awesome and includes the obvious (such as Mother Theresa and Helen Keller) as well as the more obscure (such as the Victorian suffragist Emmeline Pankhurst.) Each hero has a bio page with links to additional resources and multimedia clips. Heroes and Icons is part of the larger Time 100 feature, with a quiz to test your knowledge of the century’s movers and shakers."

Greek Mythology Today: Myth Man
"Enjoy a well-told myth? Then Myth Man’s Myth of the Month is for you. If you’re working on a school report, head directly to Homework Help. With 200 reference pages, Myth Man’s Homework Help section is huge. It includes an illustration gallery, two printable (non-interactive) quizzes, Mythology in Modern Culture, and biographies of major and minor Olympians. Navigation is confusing at times because some of the category links take you offsite (while displaying the Myth Man URL in your browser address bar) so use your back button if you get lost."

Greek Mythology
"From Aphrodite to Zeus, Michael Wiik covers the immortals of Greek mythology with brief bios and a pronunciation key. ""The names are NOT hard to pronounce, don’t let them scare you. The Greeks don’t use C’s... they use K’s instead."" Best clicks for high-school students are the three Fun Fact Quizzes, and the useful table of Greek Names vs. Roman Names. ""Greek Mythological Beings are often confused with the Romans. They are, for the most part, completely different and the names should not be used interchangeably."""
