Monstropedia is an electronic encyclopedia which aims at listing all monsters that belongs to mythology, art and modern foklore.
The word Monstropedia is derived from two classical concepts: from the latin verb monstro, "to show", or "to point out"; familiar to us in the derivative, demonstrate. and ἐγκύκλιος παιδεία (enkýklios paideía) that is encyclopedia. The name has a dual symbolic meaning:
- Monstropedia sets its focus on topics that usually are not covered in — i.e. that falls outside of — mainstream encyclopedias.
- Monstropedia has a philosophical and historical purpose, to keep myths alive so that they can influence the mainstream debate, culture and historical view.
The project is still in its early stages, but the database is growing every day and you are heartily welcome to contribute to the growth of this valuable and unique encyclopedia.
