The Objective
Aim:
• to remove stereotypes of Greek gods
perpetuated by media (e.g. movies/comic
strips) by providing the literary perspective
• to develop interdisciplinary resource
package for sec …. Students so that
teaching can be less compartmentalised
- history-literature
- literature-art .
Target Audience
Our target audience will be mainly
focused on the students between
11-14 years old.
Consider:
Will be:
HCI students
teachers

Survey On which Greek God
people know most:

The survey was conducted on 50 people from various walks of life.
Most of the people knew who Hercules was as many watched the
movie Hercules by Walt Disney. When asked if they knew any more
about Zeus, most would say he was the King of the gods and about
Hercules, they would say a very strong man. This survey shows that
the number of people who know in depth about Greek Gods is very
little. Also, when we asked students about Greek Gods, they would sigh
and are not interested in these myths. Thus, we have decided to come
up with a package to help tie in with other various subjects such as
literature and geography to make learning more fun and less boring
and interdisciplinary.
Potential of our Project

This purpose of this presentation is
to avoid students from having a
wrong opinion on the different
Greek Gods as the movies often
portray them.
Timeline

The Greeks were polytheistic in their religious beliefs. Polytheistic means they believed in and
worshiped many different gods. In Greek mythology, the gods often represented different forms
of nature, elements, instruments etc. Their religion/mythology had no formal structure. There
was no sacred book or code of conduct to live by. The most powerful Greek gods were known
as the Olympians. The Greeks believed the Olympians lived on the highest mountain in
Greece, Mount Olympus.
In our opinion, the Greeks should have worshipped and believed in 1 God only. Just like in
Christaniaty. However, we will not go into the sensitive topic of Religion. The Greeks put their
Gods into different categories, mainly the olympians and the titans. The Titans preceeded the
Olympians. There was a huge war between the Titans and the Olympians who were younger.
They fought for 10 years and a God suggested Zues to free the Cyclops from the Tarturas, the
worst place in the underworld. Zues and his brothers managed to free him and he granted
them powers. The 3 brothers, Zeus, Hades and Poseidon drew lots for the different powers
that they will get. Zeus got the power of lightning and got the sky, Poseidon got the sea and a
trident and the scale of the battle and the Olympians won by killing Kronus and they banished
the titans that fought against them to the Tarturas.
After that, the Olympians lived in Hades got control of the underworld. Thus their new powers
tipped Mount Olympus and ruled the heavens.
Limitations


May have trouble meeting up
regularly as we are from different
consortiums so we have different
activities at different timeslots
Some group members do not want
to contribute and prefer to slack

Our reflections #1

This project may not be very good, but it has definitely
helped me to understand the importance of teamwork.
Through the process of this project, we had faced many
difficulties and obstacles and had to find solutions to them.
For instance, it was relatively hard to meet up regularly to
discuss our project. As a result, we had to compromise and
make time for it.
I feel that Project's Day is an important event that can train
us to be more independent and let us learn to work with
others. As this our first time having a Project's Day, we would
face many setbacks and would still need some time to adapt.
Nevertheless, we will continue to work on this area and try to
achieve better results next year.

Our reflections #2
As this our first time, we have face many setbacks
such as time management and will still need
some time to adapt. Nevertheless, we will
continue to work on this area and try to achieve
better results next year. I feel that Project’s
competition is an important event that will help us
develop certain skills in life has helped us become
more independent and learn to socialise with
others. It has definitely helped me to work well
with others and helped me to understand the
need for teamwork.

Our Reflection #3
The journey that we have taken during this first phase of the project was
fulfilling and enjoyable. It has been a tough journey for all our group members,
mentors and other supporting casts behind the scenes. This project may not be
good but our intentions are to help the students more in learning. Eventhough we
may not do well in our project, but it has already been a great way in building our
project. I have learnt to work well together in a team and how to deal with slackers.
We had faced many difficulties in meeting up with each other and our mentor. In
the end, it all worked out for us.
Project’s day in Hwa Chong is a very good opportunity for the students to
learn many skills that they can apply in the future when they step into the society.
Project’s day trains us to be independent and develop skills like teamwork and
giving and taking. It is our first time doing a project work that would be graded as
a competition as the other projects I have done in primary school were just
excuses to break from the normal curriculum, Hwa Chong’s project’s day has
definitely enriched me!

The Greeks were polytheistic in their religious beliefs.
Polytheistic means they believed in and worshiped many
different gods. In Greek mythology, the gods often
represented different forms of nature, elements, instruments
etc. Their religion/mythology had no formal structure. There
was no sacred book or code of conduct to live by. The most
powerful Greek gods were known as the Olympians. The
Greeks believed the Olympians lived on the highest
mountain in Greece, Mount Olympus. The Olympian gods
included: Zeus, Hera, Apollo, Aphrodite, Ares, Artemis,
Athena, Demeter, Hades, Hermes, Hephaestus, Poseidon.
They will be the Gods that we will be talking about more in
our presentation.
Since the Greeks had many Gods and not only worships one God, they
split their Gods into different categories. The most important Gods were
the Olympians. As everyone knows, the most powerful and famous
Olympian was Zues. Another group of important Gods were the Titans.
The Titans were a group of 12 Gods. There were 6 males Titans that were
known as the Titanes, and the females as the Titanides . The Titans were
associated with various primal concepts, some of which are simply
extrapolated from their names eg: Natural law. The twelve first-generation
Titans were ruled by the youngest, Cronus ,who overthrew their father,
Ouranos ,at the urgings of their mother, Gaia.
Several Titans produced offspring who are also known as "Titans." These
second-generation Titans include the children of Hyperion (Helios, Eos,
and Selene), the daughters of Coeus (Leto and Asteria), and the sons of
Lapetues (Prometheus, Epimetheus, Atlas, and Menoetius).

•Famous for his musical abilities. He was credited with inventing
the lyre.
Son of Zeus, but was not always on good terms with him.
Hera once tried to conspire against Zeus. Apollo and the
other Olympians went along with the conspiracy. Zeus
prevailed and punished both Apollo and Poseidon by
forcing them to slave as mortals on Troy’s walls for a year.
Another time, Apollo was forced to be a herdsman when he
killed the Cyclopes in retaliation for Zeus killing his son
Aselepius.
Here are some fun facts:
 Both him and Titan Helios are the Sun Gods.
 Mortal medical healer who could bring the dead back to life

Roman Name: Diana
Parents: Zeus and Leto
Twin Brother: Apollo
•Goddess of forests and hills, child birth, virginity and fertility
•Twin sister of Apollo. The story was told that Leto, while pregnant
with her twins, was continually on the run from Hera. She could not
find any city that would take her in, because they feared the wrath
of Hera. Finally, she was allowed to stay with her sister on one of
the Greek islands. There Leto gave birth first to Artemis, who after
getting out of the womb, assisted in the delivery of her twin Apollo.
From this event Artemis became known as the goddess of
childbirth.
• Pictured with a bow and arrows and often in the woods. In the
Trojan War, recounted by Homer in the Illiad, he was on the side
of the Trojans.
• Not a goddess to be trifled with. Once the queen of Niobe,
bragged she was better than Leto because she had seven sons
and seven daughters, where Leto only had two. Both Apollo and
Artemis took offense to this, and Apollo killed all the sons while
Artemis killed all the daughters.
• Not only the goddess of the hunt, but
also the protector of wild animals.
Though the two do not seem to mesh, in
the minds of the Greeks they do. When
she hunted, her kills were quick and
painless. By regulating the population of
wild animals, she kept them from
starvation and plagues that would strike
large, overpopulated animal herds.

Zeus
Dione
Aphrodite
Hermes

Parents: Zeus and Dione
Goddess of love and beauty
• Two versions of Aphrodite’s birth.
•The first version suggested that Aphrodite was created from the
foam of the sea when Cronus cut off Uranus’s genitals. Homer, in his
poems, suggested that Aphrodite came from the union of Zeus and
Dione. Aphrodite was married to Hephaestus, the deformed god of
fire.
• Aphrodite had a son named Eros. He has been depicted as a
little child with a bow and magical arrows ( your typical valentine’s
symbol ). Being shot with one of his arrows caused a person to
fall in love.
• Despite being married, Aphrodite was not happy with her
husband, thus she looked other places for affections and started
to have many affairs with both Gods and mortal men.

•Messenger of the Gods, God of motion, travelers, commerce,

other god or goddess. Example : He showed the way for the
dead souls to Hade's hellish realm.
1.
According to stories about him, Hermes started his life in
mischief. When he was only one day old, he sneaked out of
his cave home. He saw a turtle and decided to kill it and use
it’s shell to create a lyre. Then he went searching the
countryside and ran across fifty of Apollo’s prized cattle. He
stole and hid the cattle and using his cleverness, he
disguised the hiding place.
•
Apollo searched for the cattle and accused Hermes of
stealing them. Hermes pretended to be innocent and was
brought before Zeus, who saw through the lies. Hermes gave
back the cattle and then began to play his lyre. Apollo was so
enchanted with the new instrument that he traded the cattle
for the lyre.
• Zeus gave Hermes a pair of golden
winged sandals and appointed him
to be the messenger of the gods. In
exchange for the honor, Hermes
committed not to lie to Zeus. He
was put in charge of many different
tasks. For example, he led the
dead to the River Styx. He was
also the one who returned
Persephone from the underworld.
Roman name: Bacchus
Parents: Zeus and Semele
God of wine, vegetation and theather
• Unusual birth.
•Zeus, his father, disguised himself to get Semele to fall in love with
him. She became pregnant with Zeus’s child. Hera wanted revenge
when she found out about the affair. She disguised herself as a
mortal and became Semele’s maidservant. She convinced Semele to
ask Zeus to reveal his glory and prove that he really was a god. So
Semele asked for one wish of Zeus. He promised to grant it. She
asked for him to reveal his glory to her, and he was bound to comply
knowing it would be disastrous for his mortal lover. When he revealed
himself, Semele was consumed by his radiance.

Zeus ordered Hermes to save the baby and
had it put into his own thigh. Three months
later, Dionysus was born.
• Zues tried many desperate ways to hide
Dionysus from Hera. He tried to disguise him
as a girl but it failed and he had to transform
him into a goat so that Hera would not find
him and cause harm to him.
• Once he was transformed back to his original
state, Hera found him and drove him to
madness. He wandered the world for several
years, until he came across the earth goddess
Cybele, who cured him of his madness.
