Mrs Habib

Greetings, today 5 Red have looked at Greek Myths in particular,
‘ Odysseus and the Cyclopes’ and ‘Persephone’ . We discussed what Myths were and the features of Myths. We compared the two myths and identified similarities and differences. A few children retold the myth ‘Odysseus and the Cyclopes’ in their own words, some children used a vent diagram to compare.

    Do myths have morals in the stories?
    A way these morals, are shown and told is through myths. A myth is a traditional story from a certain religion, place, or culture, and explains how and why things are the way they are. Myths also incorporate a moral, theme, or life lesson, which becomes clear at the end of the story.

    Which story did you prefer and why?
    I prefered Persephone because the moral was clear near the end of the story and it was very entertaining

    What was the same?
    the same between Persephone and Artemis is that they are both daughters of Zeus and so are both Godesess The similarity between them all is the are all Gods or Godesses

    What was the moral in each of the stories?

    Persephone -the moral of this story is that love is a powerful force that leads to creativity, health, and growth. When Ceres loses her beloved daughter, she withers and wilts from sadness, and the world withers with her, producing no fruit or bounty. When struck with Cupid’s arrow, he fell deeply in love with Proserpine.

    Odysseys -the moral of the story Power of cunning over strength
    The moral of power of cunning over strength was shown in the story of when Odysseus and his men went to Cyclops Island.

    Artemis-The only variables that change in this story are how we get to Orion’s death and responsible. There are, however, some meanings or lessons that we can take from this story—one of those being the importance of remaining level-headed and making rational, informed decisions.

    Myths have morals in the story.
    I prefer Odysseus.
    The way it was explained is the same.
    The difference was that it was real.
    The moral for Odysseus is stealing has consequences.
