Spotlight an Olympian God

Greek mythology is filled with amazing stories that all intertwine. The Olympians are often key players in many stories involving heroes and monsters.

Students will create a poster that highlights a single Olympian. Students can depict and describe one Olympian in detail by identifying powers, important symbols, and related myths. In the example above, Dionysus is shown surrounded by his symbols, and his pertinent myths are identified. Students should summarize one of the related myths in the poster, or write a paragraph describing the Olympian by incorporating the details noted above.

Students can use our Picture Encyclopedia pages to do preliminary research on Greek gods and goddesses! These pages can be printed out as supplementary information, or to give students an overview.
