One of my favorite parts of teaching English is the joy of learning about Greek mythology. Unfortunately, we don't get to study much about myths and legends in 8th grade English. Do you have a favorite?

Greek mythology seems like it would be an interesting subject in English to learn about.My favorite Greek goddess would have to be the goddess of love,beauty,and fertility.She was also a protectress of sailors.Some people think that she was made from sea foam and others belive that she was the daughter of Zeus and Dione.
When the Trojen Prince was asked who was the beautifulest out of three girls, he chose her.She offered him the love of the most beautiful woman in the world.
Her name happen to be Aphrodite.She was the most beautiful of them all.

The Greek god that I chose was Ares. He was the god of war. Hercules almost beat him in a battle when stuffed into a jar with two giants, although Ares is an immortal diety. In Ares appearance it was handsome and cruel. Ares carried a bloodstained spear, people said that his throne was covered in human skin. His father was Zeus. Ares was identified with the Roman god Mars which was the father of Romulus and Remus ,who found Rome.

Greek mythology does sound like fun. Like Athena,she sound interesting to me. What i like about Athena,she is the patron godess of Athens. I like people who can stand up for themselvesand other people. I would like to learn about the other gods too.
Her symbol is the owl. I like the owl because it is one of my favorite animals. The owl is similar to her if you think. An owl swoops and attacks their pray. Athena and Athens does the same thing when their in war. They attck just like the owl and they swoop down.

Greek Mythology intrests me as well. I remember in sixth grade we chose a god or godess. We had to write a paper on them. I chose aphrodite. I am still as intrested in her now as I was then. Aphrodite was a roman godess. She was the godess of love,beauty,and fertility. She was also the protectress of sailors. Hesoid, a poet, said that Aphrodite was born from sea-foam. She was the daughter of Zeus and Dione.

I studied the Greek gods and goddesses and I am interested in the Greek god Ares. He is a very interesting god. He is the god of war. People believe that Ares throne is made of human flesh. He was almost killed by being shoved into a jar by two giants.
Ares was almost killed in the Trojan war. Ares carrys around a blood stained spear. Ares was aided, or bested by Heracles in war. Ares wasn't the only interestind god, but he is the most interesting god out of the ones I researched. That is what I learned about god and goddesses.

My favorite greek god was Hercules.I liked him mainly because he was a very strong person but didn't abuse what he had.He used his strength for nothing but good and that makes him ok in my eyes.

I would rather leard about Greek mythology than just regular English,but I like Aphrodite because she is the prettiest. She looks very differnet than the other Goddist. She was named Aphrodite bacause she was the most beautifulest. Aphrodite was the just one that I would like to learn about.
