Also, below you will find a list of gods, goddesses, human beings and creatures from Greek Mythology.  Select one to do a research project on answering the following questions:

-If you selected a god or goddess, please indicate what he or she is the god or goddess of, and what special powers they possess.

-Your character might be considered a demigod or half-god.  A lot of Greek gods liked to have love affairs with human beings, which created superior human beings.  If you have selected a character that is a demigod what is his or her special power? Who are his or her parents?

-If you have selected a creature or a human being you must find out the story behind them.  Why are they imporatnt? What is unique about them?

-What moral was learned from a story associated with your character from mythology? (A brief summary of a story associated with your your character).

-Why did the Greeks (and people from other nations) come up with these myths?  Why do you think these stories still exist today?
