Hercules and Xena
Certain characters have not yet turned up in my researches in the traditional sources, so I've used the popular Universal Television shows Hercules, The Legendary Journeys and Xena, Warrior Princess for them.
The relations of the major gods are mostly from Homer (Iliad and Odyssey and Hesiod (Theogony). Where those two ancient authors disagree, I have mostly chosen Homer's version. The minor deities and relations are mostly from Grimal, which I recommend highly to those interested in this subject.

The Internet Classics Archive and the Perseus Project at Tufts University have done us all a great service by putting Hesiod and many other classical authors online. For example, the Samuel Butler translations of The Iliad and The Odyssey are available through <URL:http://webatomics.com/Classics/>.
