Activities

[Karen Carrillo]

Hey guys,

Here are some things that I came up with. They're not really in activity form but its an idea and maybe we can expand from it.

1.  Eating from the pomegranate is like Eve eating the forbidden apple.  Persephone was forced to stay in the underworld and Eve was kicked out of paradise.

2. Ancient greeks used myths to explain the world. What natural phenomenon is explained in this myth? (Used this myth to explain how the seasons change.)  Find another ancient greek myth that explains a natural phenomenon. 

3. Using the myth, draw out the family tree of the mentioned characters. *There are so many relatives, maybe they can just find the immediate family. *

4. A temple was discovered dedicated to Persephone and Demeter. Find information on the artifacts discovered and write your interpretation of how life was in ancient Greece based on these artifacts.
