Do you know any websites where people can learn greek mythology easily?
Hello, there are actually a lot of ways to learn about Greek Mythology and I’d be lying if I said there was a way for it to be actually easy. Greek Mythology is very loaded and carries a massive amount of content. Here are my suggestions you should consider looking up if you want to have basic knowledge of Greek Mythology:

reblog if you agree
Why is no one talking about what happened in São Paulo yesterday?
The sky turned completely black around three in the afternoon partly because of smoke coming from the Amazon rainforest, WHICH IS 2300 KILOMETERS AWAY FROM THE CITY, where the government has greatly increased the amount of land being burned for profit. People are getting sick, animals are dying, native territory is being lost to the flames.
This is what the sky looked like in my city yesterday, in the early afternoon.
It got so dark so fast the city had to turn on the lamp posts and night lighting.
Please talk about this. Reblog this post, non-brazilians especially.
EDIT : i made this post on tuesday the 20th when this was getting absolutely no media coverage whatsoever. stop telling me people are talking about it now. i know.

Before you read, survey the chapters:
Title, headings, subheadings
Captions under pictures, charts, graphs, maps
Review questions and study guides
Read introductory and concluding paragraphs
Read summaries
Questions while you are surveying:
Turn titles, headings, and subheadings into questions
Read questions at the end of the chapters or after each subheading
Ask yourself, “what did my instructor say about this chapter or subject when it was assigned?”
Ask yourself, “what do I already know about this subject/chapter?”
When you begin to read:
Look for answers to the questions you raised in the previous steps
Answer questions at the beginning or end of chapters or study guides
Reread captions under pictures, graphs, charts, and maps
Note all the underlined, italicized, and bold printed words or phrases
Study graphic aids (maps, charts, graphs, pictures, etc.)
Reduce your reading speed for difficult passages
Stop and reread parts that are unclear or confusing
Read only a section at a time and recite after each section (how to recite below)
Recite after you’ve read a section:
Ask yourself questions out loud about what you have just read, or summarize (in your own words) what you read
Take notes from the text but write the information in your own words
Underline or highlight important points you’ve just read
Reciting: the more of your sense you use, the more likely you are to remember what you read
seeing = reading, saying = asking questions or summarizing aloud, hearing = you answering your questions aloud
Review:
Reviewing is an ongoing process
80% of information is lost within 24 hours, but if you continue to review you will remember more for class or for test day
