This week in ELA class, the seventh grade learned about the Greek Gods and Goddesses that were made to explain the explainable. First, we learned about how the gods created the earth and life. We needed to draw symbols for the gods and goddesses and write their names below them. Then we had to write the similarities and differences between Greek creation and Catholic creation. I was surprised to see how many similarities there were between both creations. There are many Greek gods, but only one Catholic god. Zeus was the god of lightning and thunder. Hades was the god of the underworld. Poseidon was the god of the ocean and everything in it. Hera was Zeus's wife. Athena is the goddess of war and wisdom. Apollo was the god of the sun, music, and poetry. Artemis was the goddess of the moon, hunting, and chastity. Ares was the god of war. Hephaestus is the god of the disabled. Aphrodite was the goddess of love and beauty. Hermes was the god of science and invention. Hestia was the goddess of family and home. Demeter was the goddess of the crops and harvest. And Dionysus was the god of wine. Gabriella and I were chosen to write about Hestia, the goddess of the hearth and family. She did not go on any adventures so she was not that exciting. Although there was not that much information about her, Gabby and I still completed the assignment with ease. http://www.greekmythology.com/
