About This Product

Greek mythology was a way of explaining the environment in which people lived, the natural phenomena they observed and the passage of time with days, months and seasons. Greek myths were also intricately connected to religion. They explained the origin and life of the gods, the origin of humans and their fate after death. Myths gave flesh and blood to the gods of Greek religion, while advising people on how to live a happy life. Another purpose of myths was to tell historical events so that people could keep in touch with their ancestors, the battles they fought and the places they explored.

In this book, you will find detailed information about each one of the gods: their character, their symbols, their role in the ancient Greek mythology, and their most famous stories. Your students can practice their knowledge of Greek mythology by doing the 20 multiple choice questions at the end of the book. The questions are followed by the relevant answer key.

Immerse yourself into the amazing world of Greek mythology and enjoy teaching it to your students!
