Directions: Everyone in the class has been assigned a different god, goddess, creature

No matter which medium you choose your presentation must be 3-5 minutes long and
must demonstrate knowledge of the following:
1. If you have selected a god or goddess please indicate what they are the god or
goddess of and what special powers they possess.
- or Your character might be considered a demigod or half -god. A lot of the 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/her special power?
- or If you have selected a creature or a human being you must find out the story behind
them. Why are they important? What is unique about them?
2. Many characters in Greek mythology are related to one another or show up in
various stories. Describe some of the relationships your character has. Who are his/her
parents? Siblings? Friends? Enemies?
