Greek Mythology for Students Video Series

PRODUCT SUMMARY

Thousands of years ago, the ancient Greeks created a wealth of compelling stories to explain the mysteries and complexities of the world around them. These myths were embellished and changed by storytellers over time to include the legends of heroes, monsters and gods that continue to fascinate and inspire us today! Greek Mythology for Students is an animated video series that captures the drama of these stories and illustrates the ancients' beliefs about the wonders of the universe. Each show is enhanced by an informative on-camera host, who helps highlight some of the common mythological themes threaded throughout ancient culture and history, and shows students how these powerful myths still relate to our lives today. Teacher's Guides are included and available online.
