Students will participate in a role-playing game that allows them to experience various parts of Greek Mythology as a hero/heroine. Each hero will visit the Oracle of Delphi and given an individual quest they must accomplish. If they are successful, they are each given the chance to fulfill their destiny of becoming a God/Goddess reigning in Mount Olympus. Class #1: Students will fully create their hero/heroine character on the character sheet and seek counsel from their patrons. Next, they will receive special items that will help during the quest. Finally, they will visit the Oracle of Delphi and receive the prophecy that can make them a god/goddess. The locations can be explored in any order depending on the choices of the heroes in the adventure. Class #2 - 12: The heroes will travel to 11 different locations to work together in achieving their individual quests. They will have to keep each other alive and make sure everyone is able to fulfill their unique prophecy. At times, individuals will be challenged. At other times, the group will be challenged as a whole. Finally, they will return to Mount Olympus and be judged by their patron. These Gods are the only ones that can deem them worthy enough to bestow them with the immortality that will transform their hero/heroine into a God/Goddess. This is a role-playing game with some similarities in format to other role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons. I have chosen to do it in a much more simplified format so that the class would still be focused on gaining more knowledge in Greek Mythology. If you have done any of the other mythology role playing adventures, you will want to print Heroes in Training Character Sheet 2 again attached under the welcome on the classroom page.
Learning Goals
The goal of our lesson is to experience some of the adventures that happen in Greek Mythology. If the student has knowledge of Greek Mythology, their hero/heroine will make wise decisions in the different encounters. If the student has not read Greek Mythology, they will encounter new monsters, gods/goddesses, and places. Every student will receive all the information they need to make the best decision for their hero/heroine.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Mythology often has a lot of violence and death due to their stories centered around war, heroes vs. monsters, impossible quests, and jealous gods/goddesses.
