Overarching Themes
• Fate and Fortune in Greek Mythology: Discuss how fortunes and prophecies always come true in
Mythology, despite great efforts to overcome them. This can be seen in the myths of Zeus, Perseus, and
Arion, to name a few. In Mythology, destiny is a very real thing.
• “God Made in Man’s Image”: In Christianity, we believe that man is made in God’s image. In
Mythology, however, Greek authors have designed Gods that are distinctly human in their behavior and
flaws. Even the highest gods like Zeus, Hera, Apollo, and Aphrodite are guilty of adultery, pride, jealousy,
or rage. Describe how in Mythology gods are “human”, citing specific examples.
