During this unit we will use Greek mythology as our doorway to understanding ancient Greek culture, politics, religion, and thinking. Mythology is a collection of stories about the gods and heroes of a people that try to explain the unexplainable. Mythology tries to answer questions like, how did the world begin, or what happens after death?
