Greek Myths I focuses on the major Greek gods and goddesses who Greeks believed lived on Olympus and ruled over heaven and Earth. Packed with comedy and adventure, Greek Myths I is sure to bring the myths to life for your students. Your students will see how the Greeks used myths to explain the world around them. They will also get a sense of what the gods meant to the people who worshipped them.

Included in this book are myths about the fall of the Titans, the various female conquests of Zeus, how Persephone became the queen of the underworld, how Athens got its name, and the birth of Aphrodite.

Note that these stories, just as when the original poets told them, are full of glory and wisdom, but they also contain some promiscuity and mischief. All facets of the gods are presented in this retelling. When students finish this book, they’ll understand that the Greeks gods were just as complex and lively as the human beings that believed in them.
