In this once a week, summer club, learners will be exposed to ancient Greek mythology. We will explore different myths involving the gods who live on Mount Olympus, how they came to be there, and their interactions with each other and the mortal men over whom they ruled. For week one, we will learn about the Titans who came before the gods on Mount Olympus and their importance in the early formation of Greek mythology and Zeus, the god of all Olympic gods and men. For week two we will explore Hera's life, as well as her brother Poseidon. We will continue with new stories and myths every week with Hades, Persephone, Demeter, Hestia, Apollo, Artemis, Athena, Hephaestus, Aphrodite, Ares, Hermes, Dionysus, & even the hero Heracles/Hercules all getting their share of the spotlight. Throughout all of the classes, students will be exposed to photos of statues of the Greek gods, the temples where the Greek people worshipped them, and some paintings or illustrations depicting the Greek gods and goddesses. (I will make sure there are no nude depictions, or at the very least that the pictures are cropped or censured appropriately.) The material will be presented in a slide show accompanied by lectures and stories in a story-telling format. Students are encouraged to raise their hands to participate in questions and sharing the knowledge they already possess about Greek mythology. I am so excited to share these stories with and to in turn learn from your learner!
