CKLA - Greek Mythology

This domain builds on The Birthplace of Democracy: Ancient Greece domain and will introduce students to several well-known Greek myths and mythical characters.
Students will learn the definition of a myth: a fictional story, once thought to be true, that tries to explain mysteries of nature and humankind.
They will learn that myths give insight into ancient Greek culture, and they will encounter some myths that include supernatural beings or events.

Students will learn that ancient Greeks worshiped many gods and goddesses, and that the twelve they believed lived on Mount Olympus, the home of the gods, were the most powerful.

Students will hear about Prometheus and Pandora, Demeter and Persephone, Arachne the Weaver, the Sphinx, and Hercules, among others.
This unit lends itself to creating a learning experience that is interactive and memorable for students.
Learning Greek mythology offers students the opportunity to explore diverse stories and historical contexts without imposing any particular deity or belief system.
