My myth is about Clash of the Titains. Its about Zeus's son Perseus whos journey is to save Princess Andromeda. Perseus has to complete tasks set out by Zeus including capturing a flying horse called Pegasus and slaying Medusa whos head is full of snakes..One of his challenges was to destroy a beast know as the Kraken by holding upMedusas head. As Perseus was the son of a God he was given a mechanical owl called Bubo also a helmet that makes its wearer invisible to help him on his journey. matthew
I’ve been loving all the Greek Myths we’ve read so far in class and a few that I read at home, so I decided to write about my favourite one. The story is called the adventures of Odysseus. Read below for more information:
This is what happens in the story:
Odysseus lived on the island of Ithaca. He was a brave man, obviously because he fought in the Trojan War. He was also was very clever (at least in the period of time as the Trojan war) because he was the man who had the idea of the wooden horse*, which would stop the Trojan War.
Anyway, when the Trojan War ended Odysseus and his sailors returned back home. The return journey was full of deadly mishaps you could really never imagine.
Firstly, Odysseus’s ship broke up in quite a dreadful storm. Luckily, part of the ship was still there. Now I think you might want to know where in the world were Odysseus and his sailors. Well, they got washed up on Libya, known as Lotus - eaters in the olden times. It was quite impressive because part of the ship was still near to Odysseus and it’s crew. They sailed to a different place using part of the ship. They called at the island of the Cyclops Polyphemus who is a big giant. He locked them in a cave with his sheep and started eating them one by one.
On the other hand, Odysseus wasn’t eaten and didn’t want to be so he made a plan. He used a stick to blind Polyphemus. Every day the sheep went out to graze. When they went out to graze the men clung to their bellies. They had escaped successfully!
They went to a person called Aeolus, the guardian of the winds. He entertained them and gave them a gift. Odysseus’s sailors thought it was some treasure for only Odysseus, so the sailors instantly removed the top and to their astonishment they found out that the gift was wind. They got blown away to the island of Aeaea, where an evil witch called Circe lived.
When Odysseus spoke, his loud voice made Circe fall in love with him. They had three sons together.
Finally when Odysseus carried on his journey, he found out that it wasn’t that easy. He had to choose the correct route between two paths. The part of the ship squeezed past one of the two hideous monsters, which were blocking Odysseus.
At last they returned home. Suddenly, a ship came. Odysseus thought that they are some people trying to attack him so he fought. He was eventually killed in battle and only then he realised that it was actually his son, one of Circe’s children.
Dear Miss Jolliffe, I’m writing about the Greek myth ‘In the Cyclops cave’ from Homer’s famous poem ‘Odyssey’.
Odysseus, the king of the Greek island of Ithaca, was well known all over the world for his quick mind and cunningness. After destroying Troy, Odysseus and his men were sailing back home in their black ships. They took 10 years to go back home as they had to incur the wrath of the mighty sea god Poseidon and this story tells what angered him.
While sailing, they had reached a wild country, with wooded mountains engulfed in mist. Then, with 20 of his valiant men, Odysseus climbed the mountains to explore, and found a comfortable cave, inside which there were lots of cheese, milk and sheep, which they planned to steal and sail back off. But when they were commanded by Odysseus to stay and wait for the owner for further generosity, little did they know that the cave was home to a huge hideous one-eyed giant, the Cyclops, who had an intense hatred towards humans. A very angry Cyclops ate two men for dinner, and went to sleep, after blocking the entrance with a boulder that Odysseus thought would be impossible to remove. The following day, after the Cyclops had eaten a couple more men and left the cave, Odysseus asked his men to sharpen a stick and harden the point in fire. When the Cyclops returned, Odysseus offered him a finest skin of wine and he liked it and Odysseus said his name was ‘Nobody’ when asked. That night, after eating two more men, as the Cyclops was snoring, the men pierced the Cyclops’ eye with it and it shrieked in agony, screaming that Nobody had hurt him thus confusing the other giants. Next morning, Odysseus and his men escaped by tying the sheep in groups of three, and clinging to their underside, hence deceiving the vengeful blinded Cyclops. On reaching their boats, Odysseus stood and continued to call out insults and cursed the already hurt Cyclops who threw boulders at him. Then, Polyphemus, the blind one-eyed Cyclops crying out in pain, prayed to his father, Poseidon, to either kill them, or make them suffer a lot and his prayer was granted. And thus they did, for a long time, battling giant waves of the stormy seas, before finally returning home.
My favourite myth is Jason and the Argonauts It is my favourite because it has a adventurous myth to find the golden fleece and I have know this myth since I was 4 and is also a myth about romance like in the other myths and the boy is a hero again and the girls are sometimes bad but not in this one.
I have read and watched many Greeek myths and I can`t dicside wich one to do so wrote al the names and I stoped at Atlanta the wild girl.
There was a village, in the times of Greeks, and one day the villagers were starving so the greatest hunter, who was a prince had to go.As they were going the one of the hunters told the prince a story about a girl,her name was Atlanta.She was abandon in the forest and raised by bears. All of a sudden a bore that was created by the god fire was destroying the forest so Atalanta had to stop it.So did the prince but he tried to hunt it but he could
One night the goddess of hunting decided to help the village so she went to hunt a moose but Atalanta stoped her.Now she was jelouse.So she went for help from the god of the fire.She asked if he could do anything wich would let her control the a beast,so the god of fire made a heart that would let the goddess control the bore.
The very next morning the goddess of hunting was making the bore destroy the forest so the prince and his team of hunters had to kill the bore but the prince got hurt so Atalanta had to kill the bore.
