Greek Mythology Comic Strip
Directions: Greek mythology and religion helped to explain the mysteries of life and provide
an understanding of nature – not unlike today’s religions. In addition, the gods and goddesses
had many human qualities except they were immortal. For this project you will have three
specific tasks. See below for further details.
Part 1. Research (5 points)
The first aspect of the project is to research one of the major twelve Olympian gods. Remember
that each god or goddess represents values, beliefs, and character traits important to the Greek
people. Reference the chart in the packet for names and description. You must detail the
qualities each god possesses and their power. Take notes on the attached graphic organizer.
You must turn in your notes and a bibliography page.
Part 2. Comic Strip (10 points)
Your task is to develop a comic strip based around your god or goddess chosen. The theme of
the story should be based on the qualities and traits you have researched. The comic strip must
have a minimum of six panels. While you will not be scored on artistic ability, you will be
assessed on creating a story that is based in mythology and reflects the proper qualities of your
god or goddess.
Research Resources: Use both print and electronic resources available to find reliable
information about the Olympians. You may not copy information (plagiarism) word or word
from a website or book. All information gathered must be put into your own words.

Books

Part 3. Bibliography (5 points)
When using material from a source you must cite where you got the information. This is usually
done with a bibliography or works cited page. Below are examples of common bibliography
citations. There are also electronic cites available that will do the formatting correctly for you if
you input the information correctly.
