 The myths of ancient Greece were passed down by word of mouth, over thousands of years, often changing over time. These legendary tales revolved around a family of immortal gods who, while incredibly powerful, had some very human characteristics -- complete with petty resentments, wounded egos and frequent quarrels that erupted into larger-than-life dramas. In The Gods of Olympus, students will observe the creation of the universe from chaos, learn how Zeus became the king of the gods and examine life on Mt. Olympus, the home to Zeus and his family of Olympian gods. This title provides an overview of the major characters in Greek mythology and sheds light on their relationships with each other and with humans. Part of the multivolume Greek Mythology for Students Video Series. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online. |
