I think I would like to contribute to the agriculture of Greece. So, this will detail the types of crops grown in different regions of Greece and how the farming affects the people in those regions. I would like to take a more humanistic approach and understand what the process of raising crops is like for the people farming in Greece. I have found a few online resources to help aid me in this process.

The whole of Greece can be subdivided into six regions.

Greek Mythology: Greek mythology#cite ref-Johnson17 15-0

Evaluating Content

This article's contents are very meritable. It is very informative, and includes everything about Greek Mythology from influences in philosophy to the characters themselves. Everything seemed to pertain to the article and the overall theme of Greek Mythology. Nothing seemed outdated, but I did notice that this article lacked some basic characters. For starters, I noticed Hades was mentioned only a few times in the article even though he is a very prominent figure in Greek Mythology; this is like writing about Catholicism and not dedicating a brief overview of the Devil. Also, it lacked a very basic understanding of the history of some of the fundamental characters, which equivocally told the beginnings of Zeus and his brothers and sisters. This article also does not talk about the Roman adaptations of Greek Mythology, which I believe is important due to the changing of names, ideas, stories. This article does a poor job in exposing the audience to the entirety of the mythology and neglects what I have come to love about Greek Mythology which is the extensive amount of stories and characters. Some of the history may seem inaccurate, but a lot of the myths took on different adaptations and may have different representations across the Greek art, which all stem from "historical roots."

Evaluating Tone

This article is very neutral. Most of this article is fact-based rather than opinion-based. In fact, the article has a clear overview, and remains neutral as it is retelling the origins of the mythology and even the characters. As a whole, the article does a very good job in representing the key components of Greek Mythology.

Evaluating Sources

I believe most of the citations from the article are primarily books, but after looking through numerous sources, I can conclude that they do indeed support the article. I have read some of the sources covering The Trojan War, as well as Homer's "The Iliad." Some other sources come from reliable databases like Encyclopedia Britannica, as well as other encyclopedias.

Checking the Talk Page

Some of the topics presented in the talk page illustrate the frustration of this article not having some key components or characters. In fact, some of the topics that I saw were underrepresented were mentioned in the talk page, as well as a lot of topics that were left out like deities and what they are and how they affect Greek Mythology. There was no mention of the lacking characters, but it was mentioned there was no talk of the famous Greek monsters in the myths. This article is definitely rated well, actually, I think some of the problem is the nitpickiness of not diving in depth of the mythology, but overall, does a very good job of overlaying Greek Mythology. It is connected to three different WikiProjects all pertaining to Greece or its mythology.
