As we were told when we were young children, too much of a good thing is not a good thing. The same phrase can apply to aspects in lives now. Literature shows how pride can be a good thing, but too much of it is not. In fact, the opposite of pride, humility, is an extremely important value. The Bible and Edith Hamilton’s Mythology both show how a lack of the value humility will result in consequence through characterization and plot.…
Storytelling is a way to explain the unknown, provide moral and ethical guidelines, and put good and bad human interactions into context for children. With the gods, heroines, and villains in Greek Mythology, children can be taught about values, courage, treachery, weakness, and the flaws of human nature.

The mystery and supernatural fears of ancient Greece have been overtaken by modern times, but the fundamentals of human nature remain unchanged and create opportunities to teach in a way that captures the imaginary…
Greek myths helped the people who composed and listened to them shape their identity through a variety of ways. During the Archaic period, writing began again. During this period of history, there were a variety of communities and each Greek community developed into a city-state or polis.

In appearance, the gods were supposed to resemble mortals, whom, however, they far surpassed in beauty, grandeur, and strength; they were also more commanding in stature, height being considered by the Greeks an attribute of beauty in man or woman. They resembled human beings in their feelings and habits, intermarrying and having children, and requiring daily nourishment to recruit their strength, and refreshing sleep to restore their energies. Their blood, a bright ethereal fluid called Ichor, never engendered disease, and, when shed, had the power of producing new life.…
While reading the book Lord of the Flies I noticed over and over again, the symbolism it shared with Greek Mythology. What was most obvious to me, was how Jack was depicted as the god of war, Ares. He’s seen as Ares for a number of reasons. Firstly, is his chaotic nature. Secondly, is his choice of weapon, the spear. Thirdly, is his association with the boar. Fourth, his thirst for power, and his hunters. Lastly, is his lust for blood and quick temper.…
