Students learned about the dangerous creatures while studying Greek mythology in their literature class.

Since the tales in the unit on mythology contained beasts and heroes, the children loved to listen to them.

Known in Greek mythology for being the god of thunder and sky, Zeus’s main symbol was a lightning bolt.

Many stories from mythology were so dramatic and full of love and violence that they are more interesting than what could be seen on television.

Rick Riordan’s novel, “The lightning Thief,” includes characters from Greek mythology while taking place in modern day.
