When taking this class, students can expect an interactive journey through the adventure of Theseus facing the Marathonian Bull. Google Maps will be used to clearly show where Theseus traveled and we will visit and discuss several famous locations in the Attic region of Greece. Images and some video may be shared to help bring this story to life and I as the storyteller will use my theatrical background to make the tale memorable. Class sizes are kept small to ensure students are given ample opportunity to interact with the teacher and are encouraged to keep microphones on (if surroundings are quiet) so they may freely communicate. Specifically, we will learn about Theseus being ordered by Medea to fetch the Marathonian Bull, Aegeus' upbringing in the city of Megara and his relationship with his brothers, Aegeus receiving his prophecy from the Oracle of Delphi, the story of Pheidippides and Pan, the two tumuli of Marathon, Hecale and Theseus, Aegeus recognizing his son, the flight of Medea, the sons of Pallas attempting to murder Theseus, and finally, the tribute ship of Minos.
Learning Goals
Students develop an appreciation of ancient literature and learn about Theseus, Aegeus, the Oracle of Delphi, Marathon, Pheidippides, Pan, Hecale, Medea, Pallas, Poseidon, and far more. Etymology of words connected to these stories will be discussed. Information is sourced from Pseudo-Apollodorus' 'Bibliotheca', Euripides' 'Hippolytus', Herodotus' 'Histories', and Plutarch's 'The Parallel Lives.' Further information is sourced from the works including, but no limited to, of Pindar, Sappho, Sophocles, and Homer.Other Details
Parental Guidance
Spoiler, the bull dies. There are acts of murder and attempted murder in the story through poisoning and daggers.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
