Assign different sources to students and organize presentations where learning can go deeper into this popular myth.

- Teachers always ask for answer keys for my products so I made sure I gave you plenty of guidance on what to expect from students in their written and oral responses.
I created this resource with middle and high school students in mind. It is designed for an English Language Arts Mythology unit —
- For any myth-related unit!
- On characteristics of the gods and goddesses, hubris, The Olympians, and more!
- Use this resource as a stand-alone lesson or, pair it with a larger unit on the Iliad and The Odyssey, Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, Robert Graves's Greek Myths, or Edith Hamilton's Mythology.
Know that this educational digital download is a supplement to a unit on Greek Mythology. The lesson includes links to full-text primary resources but the product itself does not contain copies of the individual myths.
