Mrs. Minks Language Arts GREEK CREATION MYTHOLOGY
HOW DID THE GREEKS VIEW CREATION? Here is the short answer: Scary old gods came first, they got stomped down by their kids who were better looking, younger gods. These gods created humans. Humans and gods fought for supremacy and won a few rounds but eventually got trounced and became more and more miserable.
NOW, THE LONG ANSWER In the beginning the universe was without form. It was nothing; there was matter, but it was unorganized, shapeless, mixed up and dark. This was called CHAOS.
AFTER CHAOS, GODS CAME INTO BEING Gaia, the Earth, held up Uranus, the sky. They fell in love and had a bunch of children.
THE TITANS The first children of Gaia and Uranus were monsters including the Cyclops. The next generation were Titans. Uranus hated the Titans and he was cruel to them. Gaia was ticked at Uranus for being such a jerk to their kids, so she helped her son Cronus overthrow him.
THE GOLDEN AGE A Titan named Prometheus made men. For a while men lived in harmony and everything was hunky dory. This was called The Golden Age.
CRONUS Cronus was the strongest and best Titan of all. After Gaia helped him, Cronus became king and married his sister Rhea – another Titan.  Cronus heard a prophecy that one day one of his sons would dethrone him. So he did the only logical thing – every time Rhea had a baby, Cronus swallowed it. 
TRICKERY  Rhea got sick of Cronus swallowing her babies, so when she had her sixth child, she tricked him by wrapping up a rock to look like a baby and he swallowed the rock instead.
ZEUS Zeus was the sixth child that Rhea had. After tricking Cronus she hid Zeus.  Zeus grew up to be beautiful and strong – too strong for Cronus to do anything. 
RESCUE Rhea and Zeus prepared a special drink for Cronus of nectar mixed with mustard and salt. The drink made Cronus vomit up the stone, then the other children he had swallowed.
THE OTHERS… The other children were gods of course, and therefore there were undigested and still alive. They immediately chose Zeus to be their leader because he rescued them. They were: Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon.
WORLD VIEW The Greek view of the world was a little different than ours. They believed the world was flat, but circular, like a paper plate. Greece was at the center of the universe. • Their world was divided by Mediterranean which means, “Middle of the Lands” in Latin. • The river Ocean flowed around the world in a clockwise motion.
THEIR WORLD: THE HYPERBOREANS • In the north lived the Hyperboreans – and extremely happy people for whom life was sweet. This was a place of constant vacation where people were said to live for 1,000 years. When the old people became tired of living, they threw themselves into the sea.
THEIR WORLD: THE ETHIOPIANS If I say I parked in Ethiopia this morning, would that mean that I parked close or far away? • In the south lived the Ethiopians. In Greek drama, mention is often made of various gods being in Ethiopia, meaning really far away. The Ethiopians were said to be on good terms with the gods and liked to entertain them.
THEIR WORLD: ELYSIAN FIELDS To the west were the Elysian Fields. This was the closest the Greeks got to the idea of heaven; only the best and brightest of the dead people got to go there.
TO DO IN CLASS: Draw your own representation of the Greek view of the world on the paper plate using colored pencils and the map as a guideline. Be sure to include the Hyperboreans, the Ethiopians, and the Elysian Fields.
HOMEWORK: Write a one-paragraph essay comparing the Greek view of the world to the contemporary (modern) view of it, including at least two points of comparison and two of contrast.
DIRECTIONS FOR PARAGRAPH Begin with a topic sentence.  Next, list two ways the views are similar.  Next, list two ways the views are different.  Last, state a conclusion.  You will be assessed on: Topic sentence, format, how many similarities/contrasts you include, and how logical and thorough your argument is. 

Greek creation mythology

  • 1. Mrs. Minks Language Arts GREEK CREATION MYTHOLOGY
  • 2. HOW DID THE GREEKS VIEW CREATION? Here is the short answer: Scary old gods came first, they got stomped down by their kids who were better looking, younger gods. These gods created humans. Humans and gods fought for supremacy and won a few rounds but eventually got trounced and became more and more miserable.
  • 3. NOW, THE LONG ANSWER In the beginning the universe was without form. It was nothing; there was matter, but it was unorganized, shapeless, mixed up and dark. This was called CHAOS.
  • 4. AFTER CHAOS, GODS CAME INTO BEING Gaia, the Earth, held up Uranus, the sky. They fell in love and had a bunch of children.
  • 5. THE TITANS The first children of Gaia and Uranus were monsters including the Cyclops. The next generation were Titans. Uranus hated the Titans and he was cruel to them. Gaia was ticked at Uranus for being such a jerk to their kids, so she helped her son Cronus overthrow him.
  • 6. THE GOLDEN AGE A Titan named Prometheus made men. For a while men lived in harmony and everything was hunky dory. This was called The Golden Age.
  • 7. CRONUS Cronus was the strongest and best Titan of all. After Gaia helped him, Cronus became king and married his sister Rhea – another Titan.  Cronus heard a prophecy that one day one of his sons would dethrone him. So he did the only logical thing – every time Rhea had a baby, Cronus swallowed it. 
  • 8. TRICKERY  Rhea got sick of Cronus swallowing her babies, so when she had her sixth child, she tricked him by wrapping up a rock to look like a baby and he swallowed the rock instead.
  • 9. ZEUS Zeus was the sixth child that Rhea had. After tricking Cronus she hid Zeus.  Zeus grew up to be beautiful and strong – too strong for Cronus to do anything. 
  • 10. RESCUE Rhea and Zeus prepared a special drink for Cronus of nectar mixed with mustard and salt. The drink made Cronus vomit up the stone, then the other children he had swallowed.
  • 11. THE OTHERS… The other children were gods of course, and therefore there were undigested and still alive. They immediately chose Zeus to be their leader because he rescued them. They were: Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon.
  • 12. WORLD VIEW The Greek view of the world was a little different than ours. They believed the world was flat, but circular, like a paper plate. Greece was at the center of the universe. • Their world was divided by Mediterranean which means, “Middle of the Lands” in Latin. • The river Ocean flowed around the world in a clockwise motion.
  • 13. THEIR WORLD: THE HYPERBOREANS • In the north lived the Hyperboreans – and extremely happy people for whom life was sweet. This was a place of constant vacation where people were said to live for 1,000 years. When the old people became tired of living, they threw themselves into the sea.
  • 14. THEIR WORLD: THE ETHIOPIANS If I say I parked in Ethiopia this morning, would that mean that I parked close or far away? • In the south lived the Ethiopians. In Greek drama, mention is often made of various gods being in Ethiopia, meaning really far away. The Ethiopians were said to be on good terms with the gods and liked to entertain them.
  • 15. THEIR WORLD: ELYSIAN FIELDS To the west were the Elysian Fields. This was the closest the Greeks got to the idea of heaven; only the best and brightest of the dead people got to go there.
  • 16. TO DO IN CLASS: Draw your own representation of the Greek view of the world on the paper plate using colored pencils and the map as a guideline. Be sure to include the Hyperboreans, the Ethiopians, and the Elysian Fields.
  • 17. HOMEWORK: Write a one-paragraph essay comparing the Greek view of the world to the contemporary (modern) view of it, including at least two points of comparison and two of contrast.
