 Many ancient myths were stories designed to warn people against poor judgment and excessive pride or hubris. Those who dared to cross the gods, compete with them or question their authority did so at great peril. In Defying the Gods, students will see the tales of Arachne the boastful weaver & Athena, Daedalus & his foolhardy son, Icaraus, Prometheus the Titan, who gave the gift of fire to mankind and Pandora, Zeus's gift back to humanity, each in its own way, illustrating the often fatal consequences of such behavior. Part of the multivolume Greek Mythology for Students Video Series. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online. |
| "The tales are well-written and briskly paced, and the computer animation is simple, but eye-catching…The programs are beautifully done, bringing the subject matter to life in a clear and informative way. A valuable addition to studies of Ancient Greece as well as classroom myth and legend units."- School Library Journal (Sept 2005)
"…will hold students’ interest…The narrator has a great voice…a good fit for upper elementary to junior high and great support material for Greek mythology units…Recommended."- Library Media Connection (Aug/Sept 2004)
