Rhetoric Literature Co-op #11 - Greek Mythology

[LeeAnnP]

Co-op #11 will find us discussing Greek mythology. I know many of you just LOVE Greek mythology, and I think you will find our book pretty interesting. Our author has a great introduction that gives a good history of mythology and offers some great perspectives on how Greek mythology is different from other mythologies. And, she addresses how the Greek gods have changed over time - from times of Homer's Trojan War and Odysseus to the time of Classical Greece that we are studying now. Please make sure to read the Introduction:)

Please bring in 5 examples of ways you see allusions to Greek mythology in our modern culture (for example, Nike corporation - think about why Nike would choose that name for their shoes and sport equipment/clothing company)
