I hope that the resources gathered here will be useful for Classical Mythology students, especially those on Open University course
A330 Myth in the Greek and Roman Worlds
starting in October 2010.  Do consider signing up if you haven’t already – it looks great!  This is not an official Open University site – it’s just me collecting stuff.  :-)

Open University on iTunes U

    This is a good resource.

    I know I’m being a bit picky, but can we please kill off this idea that one of the authors is Classical Mythology is called Leonard? It’s Lenardon.

    Hi Mair,

    Just wanted to say a big thanks for posting all of this up. I’m starting the course this October and want to get to grips with some of it before we’re up and running – so this is perfect!

    With kind regards,

    Liam
