On Tuesday, the 5th of February, 2013, a lady named Marion de Grijs visited us during English class to tell us about the Greek Gods and Goddesses. She came from a museum in Leiden, The National Museum of Antiquities. Marion told us about the Greek Gods and their history, where they came from, their family, their symbols, etc. Not only did she tell us about the 12 Greek Gods but she told us about a goddess that is not very well known. Her name is Hestia, goddess of hearth. She takes care of your home. Her symbol is a fireplace and she is one of Zeus’ siblings. What I learnt from Marion is that there are more Greek Gods and Goddesses than those main 12. I also learnt that we have 4 seasons, Summer, Winter, Autumn, and Spring, because of Persephone. Persephone is the goddess of harvest. Hades forced her to stay in the Underworld with him, but Zeus asked to have her back, because without her, no one could eat because there is no harvest. So Hades agreed to let her out of the Underworld with her mother, Demeter, during Summer and Spring, but with Hades during Winter and Autumn. A recommendation from me is to go to The National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden. It has things from Ancient Egypt and Rome such as the Egyptian Temple of Taffeh and a few mummies. You can learn a lot about Ancient Egypt, Rome and Greece in this museum.
