Greek gods and mythology
What is Greek mythology?
The Ancient Greeks believed that everything in life was controlled by a god or goddess – so, if the crops didn’t grow very well one year, they thought it was because the goddess of the harvest (Demeter) wasn’t happy. The gods and goddesses looked like humans, but they lived forever.
As a way to keep the gods and goddesses happy, the Greeks built a temple for each one. Priests were in charge of the temples and letting everyone know what the gods were trying to tell them. The Greeks would also hold festivals for the gods, and sporting events like the Olympics. The Greeks told many stories about things that the gods did – this is called mythology .
Top 10 facts
- The Ancient Greeks were very religious people, and believed that many different gods controlled everything that happened in life.
- Temples were built for each god. Priests in the temples were in charge of speaking to their particular god or goddess, and making sense of what they wanted the Greek people to do.
- To please the gods even more, festivals were held in their honour.
- The Olympics began as a sporting festival held to honour the god Zeus. Zeus was king of all the gods, and he controlled the weather.
- The Greek gods were humans who looked like you and I do, but they were immortal (they could live forever) and had special powers.
- There were 12 main gods and goddesses, and they all lived on Mount Olympus – the highest mountain in Greece.
- The gods and goddesses weren’t always very nice. They could be just as mean to each other as they could be to mortals, which made it more difficult to know how to keep them happy.
- Because the gods had their own personalities, stories about them were told to explain why they acted the way they did – this is called mythology.
- In addition to gods, the Greeks believed in mythical creatures such as centaurs (half human, half horse) and Cyclopes (monsters with only one eye). These would often show up in mythology too.
- The Greeks also believed that after people died, they went to the Underworld (like the Ancient Egyptians ). The underworld was ruled by the god Hades, and to get there the god Hermes helped people cross the River Styx.

Did you know?
- The king of all the gods was Zeus , who was in charge of the weather. The Greeks thought that lighting bolts were Zeus’ weapons, and that he threw them when he was angry.
- The Olympics began as a festival of different sports, held to honour Zeus.
- The Ancient Romans also believed in some of the same gods as the Greeks did, but the Romans called them by different names. You can see some of the differences in the chart below. Which of the Roman names are also the same as what we call some of the planets ?
- There were 12 main gods, and the Greeks believed that they all lived on top of Mount Olympus – this is also the highest mountain in Greece. These 12 gods were called the Olympians. The only Olympian who didn’t live on Mount Olympus was Hades, who was the god of the Underworld.
- Even though they were gods, none of them was perfect – they could be grumpy, sad, jealous or happy, and throw parties, get married and have children just like humans. The Greeks used all of these characteristics to make up stories to explain how the world is. These are called myths.
- Greek mythology can be a lot of fun to read. For instance, one of the myths is about King Midas, who wished that everything he touched would turn to gold. His wish was granted one day, but King Midas wasn’t too happy – he realised that he couldn’t even eat without his food turning to gold! He learned that there are more important things than riches, so asked for his new power to be taken away.

Most city-states had an acropolis, which was a collection of temples built on top of a high hill. Acropolis means ‘high city’, and it was a place where the citizens of the city-state could go to for safety if there was an enemy invasion.
Athens was named after Athena , who was the goddess of wisdom. The people who lived in Athens believed that Athena was their patron goddess – this meant that she would protect Athens from the other gods when they got angry.
The Parthenon in Athens is a large temple built to honour Athena. Each city-state had a patron god. Creating a temple for a god meant putting their statue inside it, and maybe even decorating it with the god’s symbols. People went to the temple to pray to the god/goddess and bring offerings, such as treasures or food.
Priests were put in charge of the temples, which meant that they were the ones who communicated with the god or goddess. The priest could interpret what the gods wanted, and make sure they were kept happy.
The Underworld is where the Greeks believed that people went after they died. The Ancient Egyptians also believed in an Underworld, but the ones that the Greeks believed in was a little different.
Hades was in charge of the Underworld, and the god Hermes would guide people along to the River Styx – this separated the world of the living from the world of the dead. It cost money to be ferried across the River Styx, so when people were buried their families would place a coin on their body to make sure they could pay the fare.
Once you crossed the River Styx, you’d join other souls in the afterlife – but nobody stayed around there for too long. The Greeks believed that souls of the dead would be reborn, so you’d only have to stay around the Underworld as long as it took for your soul to wait in the rebirth queue.
This story about the Underworld is part of Greek mythology. References to the different myths can be found in pictures painted on vases, and in Greek literature like The Iliad and The Odyssey by Homer. Each god had certain symbols that would help you tell which was which – for instance, Poseidon (god of the sea) always carried around a trident, and Aphrodite (goddess of love) is usually shown with doves. Artemis is the goddess of hunting, and she’s pictured with a bow and arrow.
Some of the best myths involve heroes – people who did brave and noble things. One of the favourite heroes was Heracles, who was Zeus’ son. He was brave even when he was a little baby – he saved the life of his brother by killing snakes that had been released into their nursery and meant to kill them.
The 12 Olympian gods and goddesses
- Zeus – king of the gods, and god of the sky; his main weapon was thunderbolts
- Hera – wife of Zeus and queen of the gods, and also the goddess of marriage and family
- Hades – brother of Zeus and Poseidon, and god of the Underworld
- Hermes – son of Zeus and messenger of the gods; he’d help deliver people to the River Styx in the Underworld
- Demeter – goddess of agriculture and the seasons
- Poseidon – brother of Zeus and Hades, and god of the sea
- Athena – daughter of Zeus, goddess of wisdom, and patron god of Athens
- Ares – son of Zeus and god of war
- Apollo – twin brother of Artemis, son of Zeus and god of the sun and music
- Artemis – twin sister of Apollo, daughter of Zeus and goddess of hunting and animals
- Aphrodite – daughter of Zeus and goddess of love and beauty
- Dionysus – son of Zeus, god of wine and celebrations, and patron god of the theatre
Other important gods (sometimes included in the 12 Olympians)
- Hestia – goddess of the home
- Hephaistos – husband of Aphrodite, and god of fire and the blacksmith’s forge

Greek Mythology
Our Greek Mythology lesson plan teaches students about Greek mythology as a whole as well as particular myths and tropes. Students practice identifying some Greek myths and use popular tropes to create their own modern myth.
Included with this lesson are some adjustments or additions that you can make if you’d like, found in the “Options for Lesson” section of the Classroom Procedure page. One of the optional additions to this lesson is to plan a “Greek Week” where students dress up as gods or goddess, you read myths aloud each day, and you serve Greek food.
Description
Additional information, what our greek mythology lesson plan includes.
Lesson Objectives and Overview: Greek Mythology introduces students to Greek mythology. Many students have heard some of the myths and stories, yet they do not know their source. At the end of the lesson, students will be able to define myth and identify various Greek myths and explaining their purpose. This lesson is for students in 4th grade, 5th grade, and 6th grade.
Classroom Procedure
Every lesson plan provides you with a classroom procedure page that outlines a step-by-step guide to follow. You do not have to follow the guide exactly. The guide helps you organize the lesson and details when to hand out worksheets. It also lists information in the yellow box that you might find useful. You will find the lesson objectives, state standards, and number of class sessions the lesson should take to complete in this area. In addition, it describes the supplies you will need as well as what and how you need to prepare beforehand. The supplies you will need for this lesson are Internet access, colored pencils, scratch paper, final copy paper, word processors, and the handouts. To prepare for this lesson ahead of time, you can pair students for the activity, find myths to share with the class, and copy the handouts.
Options for Lesson
Included with this lesson is an “Options for Lesson” section that lists a number of suggestions for activities to add to the lesson or substitutions for the ones already in the lesson. One optional adjustment to the lesson activity is to compile the completed stories into a classroom book of myths. You can also assign a Greek god or goddess to each student for the activity instead of letting them choose their own. Students can also vote on the best new myth, most creative myth, and more. You can research other cultures’ myths and read them to the class. Finally, you can plan a “Greek Week” where students dress up as gods or goddess, you read myths aloud each day, and you serve Greek food.
Teacher Notes
The teacher notes page includes a paragraph with additional guidelines and things to think about as you begin to plan your lesson. This page also includes lines that you can use to add your own notes as you’re preparing for this lesson.
GREEK MYTHOLOGY LESSON PLAN CONTENT PAGES
The Greek Mythology lesson plan includes three content pages. The lesson begins by telling students that the names of the planets, as well as mermaids and dragons, originate in stories that were passed down through history. Each of them are based in different traditions.
We call traditional stories that are related to the early history of a group of people or culture a myth. They explain natural or social phenomenon and many include supernatural beings or events. Most people know at least a few myths.
Myths aren’t true. They are imaginary and might relate to religious beliefs or rituals. People use them to explain things such as fire, the seasons, lighting, thunder, and more. We use them to teach people how to behave and live with each other. The characters in myths might be gods, goddesses, monsters, or heroes.
Different people have created myths, like Native Americans, Egyptians, Romans, Indians, and more. However, Ancient Greek mythology is the most prominent kind. We still tell Greek myths to this day.
Ancient Greece
Ancient Greece existed before the Roman Empire and influenced Roman culture. Most Western cultures have their foundations in Ancient Greek government, philosophy, science, art, math, and more. Ancient Greece existed from about 800 BC to 146 BC, when the Romans conquered Greece.
Many Greek people believed in the myths that helped them understand their world, the environment, the passage of time, and more. They wanted to understand where their people came from. They turned to myths for advice, information, connections to their ancestors, and for education. Not all people believed in them, however.
Lots of Greek people worshipped the gods and goddesses from their myths. The term Greek mythology includes all of the stories and tales about the various gods and goddesses. They appeared in different stories, but their characteristics remained the same across different myths and stories. These gods and goddesses had one or multiple magical powers, which they used for good, for trickery, and for adventures. Ancient Greek storytellers recited myths rather than writing them down, and they often told them differently.
We have thousands of stories and many gods and goddesses across Greek mythology. All of these stories aimed to capture the imaginations of people for thousands and thousands of years.
Greek Gods and Goddesses
Lots of Greek gods and goddesses were related to each other. Hercules was the son of Zeus, and Zeus’ wife was his sister, Hera. We have many more examples of this. The gods and goddesses were each patrons in Ancient Greece. For example, Zeus was the the god of sky and lightning. Each god or goddess also has their own symbol, myths, and stories. Some Greek gods were Titan, who ruled the world. Other were Olympians, who defeated the Titans. Some were relatives of one or both groups.
The lesson includes a chart that lists many Greek gods and goddesses. It lists what they were the god or goddess of, some information and symbols related to them, and their related myths or powers. For example, Cronus is the god of time, leader of the Titans, and his related myth is the creation of the world. Oceanus is the goddess of motherhood and fertility, is the wife of Cronus and queen of the Titans, and is the source of all rivers. The lesson lists 17 gods and goddesses in the chart for students to review.
Greek myths also contained monsters and creatures like Centaurs, Cerberus, Cyclopes, Griffins, Hydra, Satyrs, and Medusa. Lots of these monsters are part-man and part-creature. Medusa, for example, was a Gorgon with a woman’s face and snakes for hair. Looking into her eyes would turn you into stone.
We have many more Greek gods, goddesses, heroes, monsters, and creatures. Lots of these became common names in myths and stories from throughout the world. People remain fascinated by Greek Mythology to this day. The stories contain tales of romance, adventure, battles, and power for people of all ages.
GREEK MYTHOLOGY LESSON PLAN WORKSHEETS
The Greek Mythology lesson plan includes three worksheets: an activity worksheet, a practice worksheet, and a homework assignment. You can refer to the guide on the classroom procedure page to determine when to hand out each worksheet.
NEW MYTH ACTIVITY WORKSHEET
Students will work with a partner to complete the lesson activity. Each pair will create a new myth with a minimum of four and a maximum of six characters. They will use the Internet to read examples of different myths, taking note of how the characters interact. Their myth must include dialogue, scenery, action, and other common features of myths. They should include images. Each pair will create a rough draft of their myth before creating a final copy.
Students can work with alone or in groups of three for this activity if you’d prefer.
MATCHING PRACTICE WORKSHEET
The practice worksheet asks students to complete two short exercises. For the first, they will determine which god or goddess each person would most likely turn into in Ancient Greece. For the second, they will decide if different statements about Greek Mythology are true or false.
GREEK MYTHOLOGY HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT
For the homework assignment, students will first match creature descriptions to their names. They will then create a new Greek mythology monster or creature, including a drawing, description, and a name.
Worksheet Answer Keys
This lesson plan includes answer keys for the practice worksheet and the homework assignment. If you choose to administer the lesson pages to your students via PDF, you will need to save a new file that omits these pages. Otherwise, you can simply print out the applicable pages and keep these as reference for yourself when grading assignments.

5 terrifying tales from Greek mythology
Meet the mythical monsters from ancient greece.
Check out these ghastly Greek myths from the time of the Ancient Greeks ! Read on, if you dare…
Greek ‘myths’ (short for mythology) are a series of stories about the Gods and magical beings of Greece. We’ll bet you’ve heard of some of the famous – and infamous! – characters already, such as Heracles , (the strongest man on Earth) Zeus , (the God of the sky and king of the gods) Pegasus (a flying horse) and Hades (the god of the underworld).
Find out more about the grand Greek myths, below!
Greek mythology
Created thousands of years ago, Greek myths were epic stories about Greek gods , passed down over generations. They often feature heroic battles and terrible creatures, and taught the importance of bravery, intelligence, and right and wrong. They showed that even the gods, like mortal men, could be punished or rewarded for their actions. Details of the ancient tales have been found on everything from pottery to temples to stone statues!
Greek myths were a huge part of the religion in Ancient Greece, and offer a glimpse into the lives of the ancient people who told them. Check out five of these fascinating Greek myths below, and meet the people-eating, fire-breathing beasts and the heroes who battled them!
Scylla and Charybdis
The Monster: Scylla and Charybdis The Hero: Odysseus The Battle: On both sides of a narrow stretch of sea, monsters lie in wait. On one side, Scylla thrashes around her six snakelike heads , ready to crunch on passing sailors. On the other, Charybdis creates a deadly whirlpool . No person has ever faced these beasts and escaped unharmed. Now the king, Odysseus , and his crew must pass them to get home. They edge around Charybdis’ spiralling sea, saving the ship from being swallowed whole. But Scylla swoops down and gobbles up six men. “Row!” Odysseus shouts, leading the rest of the crew past Scylla and out of the deadly channel. Having survived the dreaded beasts, Odysseus and his men continue their journey.
Did you know we have a FREE downloadable Greek Mythology primary resource ? Great for teachers, homeschoolers and parents alike!
Theseus and the Minotaur
The Monster : The Minotaur The Hero : Theseus The Battle : Half-man, half-bull, the Minotaur lurks in an underground maze waiting for his next meal – children sent to him as a sacrifice. Lost in the labyrinth, the kids surely will be devoured. But brave king Theseus has had enough of his land living in fear of the Minotaur. He accompanies the group and is prepared to fight. Hearing the Minotaur breathing nearby, he springs toward it. Dodging the monster’s deadly horns, he thrusts his sword into the beast. The Minotaur is dead, but will the group find its way out? Luckily, Theseus unspooled a piece of string as he walked through the maze, and leads the children out to safety.
The Labours of Heracles
The Monster : The Hydra The Hero : Heracles The Battle : In a swamp creeps a deadly nine-headed serpent called the Hydra . Killing it is one of 12 tasks Heracles – the son of Greek god, Zeus – must complete to become immortal. After throwing flaming spears at the beast, the Hydra attacks so Heracles hits its heads with a club, but more grow in their place! Heracles’ friend, Iolus , then leaps to his aid with a flaming torch. After an epic battle, the men finally destroy the Hydra!
Perseus and Medusa
The Monster : Medusa The Hero : Perseus The Battle : The hideous Medusa has snakes for hair, terrifying tusks and a face that turns anyone that looks at it into stone! To please his king, warrior Perseus agrees to slay the beast. Wearing a helmet of invisibility, he sneaks up on Medusa. She’s asleep, but one gaze at her face and Perseus would be a statue! So he looks at her harmless reflection in his shiny shield and beheads her. Victorious, Perseus flies off on winged sandals.
Bellerophon and Pegasus
The Monster : The Chimera The Hero : Bellerophon The Battle : The fire-breathing Chimera is a terrifying beast with a serpent for a tail, a goat’s body and a lion’s head! A king has commanded warrior, Bellerophon , to destroy her. Soaring above the monster on a winged horse, Pegasus, he shoots arrows at her. Bellerophon then attaches lead to his spear and thrusts it into the vicious beast. The hero’s actions kills the fiery Chimera.

Focus Standards: These are the standards the instruction addresses.
- RL.6.1, RL.6.2, RL.6.9
Supporting Standards: These are the standards that are incidental—no direct instruction in this lesson, but practice of these standards occurs as a result of addressing the focus standards.
- RL.6.4, RL.6.10, W.6.10, L.6.4
- I can demonstrate understanding of the excerpt from chapter 15 of The Lightning Thief . (RL.6.1)
- I can compare and contrast the approach to similar themes in The Lightning Thief and Greek myths. (RL.6.9)
- Opening A: Entrance Ticket (RL.6.1, RL.6.2, W.6.10)
- Work Time A: Gist on sticky notes
- Work Time B: Compare and Contrast Themes: Greek Myths and The Lightning Thief note-catcher (RL.6.1, RL.6.2, RL.6.9, RL.6.10, W.6.10)
- Strategically decide how students will accomplish the reading for today's class. Be mindful of and balance variety with students' needs and their desire for choice while planning for the reading time during the lessons.
- Review the student tasks and example answers to get familiar with what students will be required to do in the lesson (see Materials list).

- Work Time B: Utilize a tool such as http://eled.org/0124 to make collaboration and comparison of themes more visual and interactive.
Supports guided in part by CA ELD Standards 6.I.B.5, 6.I.B.6, and 6.II.C.6.
Important Points in the Lesson Itself
- To support ELLs, this lesson teaches students strategies for comparing and contrasting texts, which they will apply to both the mid-unit and end of unit assessments.
- ELLs may find it challenging to compare and contrast themes from Greek myths and The Lightning Thief , as this requires integrating a number of distinct skills (e.g., differentiating between main ideas and theme, interpreting evidence from multiple texts ). Help students move one step at a time through the differentiated Compare and Contrast Theme: Greek Myths and The Lightning Thief note-catcher ▲. Point out that the differentiated note-catcher provides scaffolds that ease some of the writing load for students.
