Mythology and Folklore

 South Greek High School The main idea of this storybook is to tell stories  a bout greek goddesses but placed in a high school setting. I will retell the origin stories of various goddesses and deities as if the reader is a new student at South Greek High School, and is learning about students there.

She would be portrayed as somewhat lonely since she was a very problematic goddess in greek mythology. Pheme: Pheme is more of a support charac...

  Topic 1: Greek Goddesses  This is a more basic topic, but it's something I've loved learning about and reading since I was very young! I read all of the Percy Jackson books and others, so Greek Mythology was one of the reasons I signed up for this course. I know a lot about the main gods and goddesses and their stories, but I would like to know more about other less prominent goddesses and their surrounding mythology. For the story spinoff, I plan on making telling the goddesses' story in a high school setting, similar to a teen drama.  Some Greek Goddesses I have looked in to are Aphrodite, Athena, Gaia, and Pheme.  Research: Greek Goddesses Topic 2: European Fairy Tales Fairy tales are something that most of us learned and read from a young age and are very familiar with. I have previous knowledge in some areas of fairy tales, but ones that are mostly European or German. Most of the fairy tales that we think about are the typical ones, but there is a lot more to ...
