Architecture, democracy, the Olympics--the modern world owes a lot
to the ancient Greeks! In Explore Greek Myths! With 25 Great
Projects, readers embark on a fascinating journey to explore the
myths that infused ancient Greek culture, civilization, and
innovation. Readers will learn how these myths, popular more than
3,000 years ago, have provided fundamental support to today's art,
architecture, mathematics, science, philosophy, literature, and
government. Readers will read about the adventures of many Greek
gods, such as Zeus, who could throw lightning bolts and Athena, who
personally protected the city of Athens. Readers will also meet
great heroes, including the mighty Heracles, Perseus, who freed a
princess chained to a rock, and Odysseus, who battled with a
one-eyed giant called a Cyclopes. These characters and creatures
serve to both entertain and offer lessons in morality, while also
explaining the natural phenomenon that the ancient Greeks had no
scientific explanation for. The lively text, surprising fun facts,
jokes, and colorful illustrations encourage children to explore
Greek mythology and make connections to our modern culture and
language. Hands-on activities include making a topographical map of
ancient Greece and designing Greek columns, while links to online
primary sources encourage readers to explore the topic
independently.
