Greek Myths LITERACY · 6TH GRADE Name Date Read the passage, then answer the questions below. Greek myths are the traditional stories of ancient Greece about gods, heroes, and the origins of the world, told orally for centuries before they were written down. The gods of Olympus behave like powerful people rather than moral ideals: Zeus rules and is unfaithful, Hera takes revenge, Athena favours the clever. Many myths explain something — why seasons change through the story of Persephone, why we have fire through Prometheus — while others warn, as Icarus warns against ignoring instruction. Because they were oral, versions differ, and there is no single authoritative text, which is why two books can tell the same myth differently without either being wrong. Their vocabulary is everywhere in English, from echo and panic to titanic and museum. Questions: 1 How do the Olympian gods behave? 2 What does the story of Persephone explain? 3 Why do versions of the same myth differ? www.littleactivity.com 6th Grade · Literacy
