What to do for a greek mythology project?!!!?

Question

Ok, so i have to do this greek mythology project on either the gods or constellations. My teacher says we can do any thing as long as it is related to greek mythology some way. I work with a group, but we havent come up with any good ideas. The only idea i came up with is a puppet show. I need help. I need to write a paper explaining what I'm doing by Friday, so I need some ideas fast. THX!! :]

Answer 1

Greek gods and goddesses were always turning mortals into star constellations. They would kill a person or hero or monster, and then honor them in the sky. The background stories of the constellations are interesting. Here's a site that lists them:

You could show the stars' positions and then show how they connect with each other to make the constellation. For example, here's a chart of the zodiac constellations that only show star positions.

Here's a chart with the constellation illustrated

Answer 3

In my Arts and Humanities class when I had to do a group project of greek mythology, we made a tombstone with with a helmet on top of it competely out of food (ghram crackers, frosting, gummy bears, licorice). The helmet is one of the signs of Hades, and the tombstone represented death.



So, maybe you all could make any edible model that represents a god or goddess. Maybe a dove for Aprhodite or something.

Welcome to the Theoi Project, a site exploring Greek mythology and the gods in classical literature and art. The aim of the project is to provide a comprehensive, free reference guide to the gods (theoi), spirits (daimones), fabulous creatures (theres) and heroes of ancient Greek mythology and religion.

THEOI GREEK MYTHOLOGY & THE GODS



The Theoi Project profiles each deity and creature of Greek Mythology on a separate page, incorporating an encyclopedia summary, quotations from a wide selection of ancient Greek and Roman texts, and illustrations from ancient art. Analysis of the texts and interpretation of the stories of myth is currently beyond the scope of the project. For such detailed analysis, I would suggest consulting some of the good books available on the subject.



Transliterated forms of Greek names are used throughout the biography pages of the site rather than their Latin forms, e.g. Kirke instead of Circe, Ouranos for Uranus, Apollon in place of Apollo, etc. The index and introduction pages, however, use the Latin name-forms for ease of reference.



The Theoi Classical Texts Library contains an extensive collection of classical literature on the theme of Greek mythology, including the works of many of the lesser known poets which are not available online elsewhere. Please note, that these are not the same texts which are quoted on the biography pages of Theoi.com, which are listed separately on the Bibliography page.



Summaries of the most important of the Greek gods, as well as classes of divinity can be found on the Pantheon and Greek Gods pages. The fabulous creatures, tribes and monsters of Greek mythology are listed in the Bestiary.



The entire Family Tree of the Greek pantheon of gods is displayed over eight charts with a central name index. There is also a separate table outlining the genealogy of the gods from Hesiod's Theogony.



A simple map of the various kingdoms of Greek mythology can by found on the Kingdoms page. Other themed pages include Plants and Flowers in Greek mythology and Greek Star Myths.



The site contains a Gallery of more than 1200 pictures from ancient Greek and Roman art, including vase paintings (C6th to C4th B.C.), sculptures, frescos and mosaics (C4th B.C. to C4th A.D.).



The Theoi.com pages can be searched using the Google box at the top left-hand corner of this page.
