Just wow. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/0807827908\/djwudicom-20\" title=\"A Genealogical Chart of Greek Mythology\">A Genealogical Chart of Greek Mythology<\/a>, by Harold Newman, looks to be fascinating.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n  It was about 20 years ago when Jon O. Newman, a federal appeals court judge in Manhattan, walked up to a staff member in the New York Public Library and asked, &#8220;Do you have a book anywhere in this library that has a complete genealogical chart of Greek mythology?&#8221; They didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>  &#8220;O.K., second question,&#8221; Judge Newman said. &#8220;If there were such a book, would you buy it?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>  &#8220;We&#8217;d have to,&#8221; the librarian replied.<\/p>\n<p>  It was what the judge had wanted to hear. For years, his father, Harold Newman, had pursued a hobby &#8212; an elaborate genealogy project &#8212; trying to link all characters from Greek mythology in a single family tree. Judge Newman wanted to finish it.<\/p>\n<p>  Now, the Newmans&#8217; work has been published by the University of North Carolina Press as &#8220;A Genealogical Chart of Greek Mythology: Comprising 3,673 Named Figures of Greek Mythology, All Related to Each Other Within a Single Family of 20 Generations.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>More details can be found at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2003\/07\/12\/nyregion\/12GREE.html\" title=\"Here's Uncle Zeus, Aunt Hera, the Twins...\">New York Times<\/a>.
