Osorio Pestaña UNIT 08 9 of 34 WORKSHEET ABOUT THE FILM “JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS” (1963) Overview of the film: This story is a Greek myth about Jason, a young man who wants to regain what is rightfully his, the kingdom of Thessaly. But, before Jason can become king, he must go on a quest to the end of the earth to find the Golden Fleece. Jason is joined on his quest by Greece’s greatest heroes who are called the Argonauts after the name of their ship, the Argo. On their journey, the Argonauts must overcome many obstacles. Jason meets the gods, and he finds love. Cast of Major Characters (in order of appearance) Pelias - He conquers the kingdom of Thessaly, killing Jason’s father and Jason’s sister.

Why do the Children of the Hydra’s Teeth always ask for a mop when they drink a glass of milk? 7. The end of the film is not the end of the story of Jason and Medea. Find out how the story ends according to Greek mythology. 8. Heroes of Greek mythology such as Theseus and Jason and Odysseus go on a journey or quest where they must face and overcome difficult obstacles. Is it common for people in our culture to go on a quest? Who and when? What obstacles do they face? 9. Do we have heroes in our modern culture? Who are your personal heroes? Why? 10. What do you think? What purpose (or purposes) did heroes serve for the ancient Greeks? What purpose (or purposes) do heroes serve in our time? ...................................................................................................

Osorio Pestaña UNIT 08 11 of 34 Names of the planets and their moons The official names of planets and their moons are governed by an organization called the International Astronomical Union (IAU). Its mission is "to promote and safeguard the science of astronomy in all its aspects through international cooperation". The IAU is the internationally recognized authority for assigning names to celestial bodies and any surface features on them. The IAU recognizes that astronomy is an old science and many of its names come from long-standing traditions and/or are founded in history. For many of the names of the objects in the solar system, this is especially so. Most of the objects in our solar system received names long ago based on Greek or Roman mythology. Planets With the exception of Earth, all of the planets in our solar system have names from Greek or Roman mythology. This tradition was continued when Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto were discovered in more modern times. Mercury is the god of commerce, travel and thievery in Roman mythology. The planet probably received this name because it moves so quickly across the sky. Venus is the Roman goddess of love and beauty. The planet is aptly named since it makes a beautiful sight in the sky, with only the Sun and the Moon being brighter. Mars is the Roman god of War. The planet probably got this name due to its red color. Jupiter was the King of the Gods in Roman mythology, making the name a good choice for what is by far the largest planet in our solar system. Saturn is the Roman god of agriculture and time. It has the longest observable (with the naked eye) repeatable period in the sky, which is currently around 30 years, it was thought to be the keeper of time, or Father Time, since no other objects had been seen or recorded to have a longer period. That is why it is often depicted as an elderly man with a long gray beard. Uranus. The Romans named the five planets closest to the Sun after very important gods. These were the only planets that were bright enough for them to see. Later, when telescopes were used, other planets were discovered. Astronomers decided to continue naming the planets after Roman Gods with one exception - Uranus. Uranus was named after the Greek god of the sky. According to myth, he was the father of Saturn and the grandfather of Jupiter. Neptune, was the Roman god of the Sea. Given the beautiful blue color of this planet, the name is an excellent choice! IES Legio VII Classical Culture 2º ESO Jaime E. Osorio Pestaña UNIT 08 12 of 34 Pluto is the Roman god of the underworld in Roman mythology. Perhaps the planet received this name because it's so far from the Sun that it is in perpetual darkness. Natural Satellites For those moons have been known for a long time (such as the Galilean moons of Jupiter), the names were assigned from mythological characters. For example, the moons of Jupiter were named for characters who had roles in the life of Jupiter: Io, Ganymede, Europa... Juno is a spacecraft that was launched to explore Jupiter... For recently discovered natural satellites of the planets, they are first given a "provisional" or temporary name while additional observations are made to confirm their existence. This temporary name (usually consisting of the year of discovery and some number indicating the order of discovery in that year). When the existence of the object is confirmed it is given a final name. The name is suggested by the discoverer(s), but following tradition is strongly encouraged. The Planets is a seven-movement orchestral suite by the English composer Gustav Holst, written between 1914 and 1916. Each movement of the suite is named after a planet of the Solar System and its corresponding astrological character. ACTIVITY: listen to the music and try to match each movement with the one the planets listed below: JUPITER, the Bringer of Jollity - MARS, the Bringer of War - MERCURY, the Winged Messenger NEPTUNE, the Mystic - SATURN, the Bringer of Old Age - URANUS, the Magician - VENUS, the Bringer of Peace. 1st 2nd 3rd 4th movement: movement: movement: movement: 5th 6th 7th movement: movement: movement: IES Legio VII Classical Culture 2º ESO Jaime E.
