Here are the guidelines for you to follow: - Research a Greek god, goddess, hero, monster, or other creature using the books and/or websites listed on the back of this paper. It is important to use AT LEAST two sources for your information so you can get as much background as possible. (only ONE person per class for each subject- a sign up list will be provided) - Take notes concerning your research- gather the information in a manner that would be easily explainable to others. - Prepare a presentation for your class to explain the subject you chose as well as any myths associated with your subject. You are the expert here! Make sure the audience understands the importance of your subject! - Create a visual aid to represent your subject- this could be a power point, a poster, a three-dimensional object, or something else. Be creative! - Be ready to present on the day this is due! What will you turn in? What is your grade based upon? - Your notes! These can be messy, neat, or whatever! I just want to see how you took notes! Staple these to the back of your works cited page. - A typed, printed works cited page in MLA format!

Divided into three sections, the work consists of sixteen original articles authored by an ensemble of some of the world’s most distinguished scholars of classical mythology. Part I provides readers with an examination of the forms and uses of myth in Greek oral and written literature from the epic poetry of the eighth century BC to the mythographic catalogs of the early centuries AD. Part II looks at the relationship between myth, religion, art, and politics among the Greeks and at the Roman appropriation of Greek mythic tradition. The reception of Greek myth from the Middle Ages to modernity, in literature, feminist scholarship, and cinema, rounds out the work in Part III. The Cambridge Companion to Greek Mythology is a unique resource that will be of interest and value not only to undergraduate and graduate students and professional scholars, but also to anyone interested in the myths of the ancient Greeks and their impact on western tradition.

  • Greek Gods and Myths – Overview Gaia and Uranus to Reign of the Olympians
    GREEK GODS AND MYTHS – OVERVIEW GAIA AND URANUS TO REIGN OF THE OLYMPIANS ERA SUMMARY – GREEK GODS AND MYTHS The myths and legends of Ancient Greece are such an essential part of Greek culture that the first three units of the Ancient Greece Classical Curriculum are dedicated entirely to myth and folklore. Greek mythology is important, not only because it reflects the pagan religion of the Ancient world, but also because it gives great insight into Greek thought and expression. References to Greek Gods and folklore are present throughout the recorded history of the ancient world, in religious symbols and ceremonies, in literature, in poetry, in art, in archeological artifacts, and in day to day life. The Greeks worshiped Pagan gods but did not credit them with the same qualities of omniscience and goodness that Christians associate with their God. Greeks Gods shared many human foibles so the legends that arose concerning them were almost invariably dramas involving jealousy, indulgence, revenge, debauchery, and misunderstandings. Greek myths were often quite humorous and frequently involved morals applicable to human relations. The myths, heroes and legends of Ancient Greece are too numerous to list, but a few general categories of the types of heroes and stories can be given. The first category of Greek myths involves the Gods, or immortals, who have a human form, and decidedly human personality traits, but possess enormous powers over the earth. The twelve Olympians are the most ATHENE CHANGES ARACHNE INTO A SPIDER important, and they include Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades who rule over the heaven, Sea, and Underworld respectively.

  • *Some of the Myths Below Are Very Compressed and May Not Work As Well As Other Versions You Discover, However, They Are All Correctly Cited
    *Some of the myths below are very compressed and may not work as well as other versions you discover, however, they are all correctly cited. Perseus and Medusa In Greek mythology Perseus was the young hero who slew Medusa, one of the fearful Gorgons who turned to stone anyone who dared to look at them. Perseus was the son of Zeus, king of the gods, and Dana, the beautiful daughter of Acrisius, king of Argos. Acrisius had banished mother and son because an oracle had said Dana's son would one day kill him. Polydectes was king of the island where Dana and Perseus had been carried under Zeus's guidance. The king wooed Dana, but knew that he would have to get rid of Perseus before he could win Dana's hand. So he sent the youth to bring back the head of Medusa, thinking Perseus would be killed. Medusa was one of three terrible sisters called Gorgons. They had leathery wings, brazen claws, and writhing poisonous snakes in place of hair. Anyone who looked at them turned to stone. But Perseus was helped by the gods. Athena lent him her brightly polished shield, and Hermes gave him a magic sword. Perseus came to the land of night where the three Gray Sisters (the Graeae) lived. They had only one eye and one tooth among them. They refused to help Perseus, but he stole their eye and returned it only when they told him where to find the Gorgons. With winged sandals that enabled him to fly, the helmet of Hades that made him invisible, and a bag in which to conceal the head, he set out again and finally found the three Gorgons asleep.

Numerous versions the stories about her? Through analyzing have appeared over time, with origins Medusa’s story with a feminist lens, in both Europe and North America. readers can see that her life is dictated In 1895, American author James by the men around her—she is hideous Baldwin wrote an anthology of short because a man rapes her and is killed stories based upon famous Greek because a man desires her head. Medusa has become a comparative symbol for myths. Included in these stories was women who break from gender roles “The Quest of Medusa’s Head,” a and defy the patriarchy.

Baldwin’s literature from the nineteenth century. recounting of Medusa’s death is problematic in many ways. Perhaps the most notable problem with Baldwin’s tale is his distinct separation of women into two types: the “ideal” or “good” woman, one who will marry well and become a devoted mother, and the “monstrous” or “bad” woman, one who is not respected in society and is exiled due to differences.

  • And Graeae Theatre (UK) Theatre’S Impact
    “Disability on Stage”: The DisAbility Project (USA) and Graeae Theatre (UK) Theatre’s Impact on Disabled Actors: A Comparative Study Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jonathan Wayne Kochensparger, M. Ed. Graduate Program in Theatre The Ohio State University 2019 Dissertation Committee Lesley Ferris, Advisor Beth Kattelman Joseph Brandesky Karen Mozingo Copyright by Jonathan Wayne Kochensparger 2019 ABSTRACT Few opportunities and many challenges exist in professional theatre for performers who have disabilities in the United States and in the United Kingdom. Joan Lipkin leads a community theatre group in St. Louis, Missouri in the United States that provides opportunities for disabled actors to perform live theatre encompassing original material that is focused on bringing disabilities to the forefront of each production. Likewise, Jenny Sealey leads a professional theatrical company in London, England called The Graeae Theatre. Graeae hires disabled artists as actors, writers and producers. Graeae is leading the way in changing perceptions of non-disabled people and showing the world that disabled artists have important work to perform. This dissertation examines the impact theatre has on the quality of lives of disabled actors and civil rights gains achieved for them by examining the history of disablity theatre in a comparison study of the DisAbility Project of the United States and Graeae Theatre of the United Kingdom. It covers work by disability scholars in a field that is in its beginning stages historically and shows how far this discussion has come since the passage of the ADA in the United States in 1990.

  • The Story of Perseus and the Gorgon the Story of Perseus and the Gorgon
    The Story of Perseus and the Gorgon The story of Perseus and the Gorgon There was once a king called Acrisius, who had a beautiful daughter named Danaë. An oracle warned him that he would be killed by Danaë’s son, so he imprisoned her at the top of a bronze tower so that she could never meet a man or have children. But Zeus the king of the gods saw her in the tower and fell in love with her. He turned himself into a shower of gold and poured himself into her room. She had a little boy whom she called Perseus. Acrisius was furious, but he couldn’t bring himself to kill Perseus, as he realised Perseus was the son of Zeus. He had Danaë and Perseus shut up in a wooden box and thrown into the sea. The box floated, and was eventually washed up on the island of Seriphos, where it was found by a fisherman called Dictys. Dictys looked after Danaë and Perseus until Perseus had grown to manhood. 2 Dictys’ brother, Polydectes, was the king of Seriphos. He had noticed how beautiful Danaë was and wanted her for himself. First he needed to get rid of Perseus. He pretended he was going to marry someone else, and said that everyone on the island must give him a magnificent horse as a wedding present. Perseus didn’t have a magnificent horse, or any money to buy one with. He promised Polydectes he would give him anything else he wanted. “Then bring me the head of the gorgon Medusa,” snarled Polydectes.
