GENERAL MYTHOLOGY

Mythology Rap
Yo! My name is ___________________, and I’m here to say
Mythology is cool, in a major way.
You see, Zeus is the ruler, the king of the mountain.
To be immortal he drinks from the nectar fountain.
And then there’s Hera, she’s second in command.
She and all the other gods rule the land.
Hermes is the messenger. He’s quick as a flash.
Zeus tells him all the info, and he picks up the stash.
Hephaestus, he’s sure one ugly dude.
But he married Aphrodite, so don’t be rude!
There’s also Apollo, the god of light.
He drives a flaming chariot with all his might.
The monster Medusa turns people to stone.
Man, I mean you better just leave her alone.

Hercules, he’s the strongest dude in town.

He beats up monsters and throws ‘em around.
Hades, he’s the ruler of the dead.
He’s got a dog with, count ‘em, 1 – 2 – 3 heads!
There’s a monster called Hydra, and he’s one mean snake.
He’s got nine heads, and he’s got more to make.

Then there’s Poseidon, ruler of the sea.

He makes big waves, if you’re asking me.
And finally, there’s Dionysus, the god of wine.
He makes it every day and drinks it all the time.

And so ends my rap about mythology.

‘Cause this ain’t zoology, archaeology, or biology.
It ain’t psychology, man

THIS IS MYTHOLOGY!

SPECIAL SECTION ON COOPERATIVE WORK

Divide your class into groups of five, and provide each group with a copy of d’Aulaires’ Book of Greek
Myths and a set of questions from the following seven pages.

Assign each student in the group a role.

1. Reader: This student will read the question aloud from the paper.

2. Finder: Using the index in the back of the book, the student will look for the name or word
mentioned in the question. He will find the reference and read the answer to
the Recorder.

3. Recorder: This student will write down the answer to the question.

4. Checker: This student will check to be certain the question is answered properly.

5. Reporter: This student will report the answer when the teacher brings the class back together
for the final session.

Groups who know additional information about the mythical character or who can add details to the
question will be given extra points. Groups will also be given points for correct responses, for working well
cooperatively, and for staying on task.

When all the groups have answered the questions assigned, the teacher will assemble the entire
class to discuss the questions and to determine that everyone has the correct information. Students may
be encouraged to look in other sources to see if they find corresponding information. If other books are
available, they may check the index to see if the character they are investigating is mentioned there.

Cronus Cyclopes Heracles Prometheus Rhea Uranus

1. I was once a leader of the gods. I overthrew my father to gain my position. I swallowed my children
when they were born because I was afraid that they would overthrow me. Eventually they did, and I
lost my position as leader of the gods.

Who am I? ________________________________________

2. I was the wife of Cronus. I plotted with Mother Earth, and she helped me and my other children
overthrow their father. I was tired of him swallowing all my children.

Who am I? ________________________________________

3. I was the father of Cronus. I warned my son that one day a child of his would overthrow him just like he
overthrew me.

Who am I? ________________________________________

4. I was a famous Titan. I fought on the side of Zeus because I knew that he would
win. I am credited with creating man and giving him fire to help him survive.
Zeus did not like this at all, and he punished me. I really owe Heracles a favor
because he rescued me from that very unpleasant situation.

Who am I? ________________________________________

5. We were the characters that have only one eye. We also helped Hephaestus work
at his forge making beautiful and sometimes magical things for the gods and
goddesses.

Who am I? ________________________________________

6. I was the son of Zeus and lived a very busy life. I not only saved Prometheus from a very unpleasant
situation, but I killed a snake when I was a very small baby and completed twelve mighty labors.

Apollo Artemis Ares Hephaestus Hestia Jason Perseus

1. I am a youth who made a boast which led me on a great quest. I had a special boat built, gathered
many heroes, and had many adventures on the quest which took me to many places in Europe and
Asia. I succeeded in my quest and eventually returned home to rule.

Who am I? ________________________________________

2. I am the youth who, with the help of winged sandals, a helmet of invisibility, and a
special bag, conquered Medusa. On my return with my prize in the bag, I saw a
beautiful maiden chained to the rocks and fell in love with her. I rescued her and
later married her.

Who am I? ________________________________________

3. I am very quiet. There are very few stories told about me, but everyone loves me. People consider me
to be the sweetest, gentlest, and most generous of all the Olympians. I quietly tend the fire on the
hearth.

Who am I? ________________________________________

4. I am the son of Zeus and Hera, but I am not perfect and beautiful like my siblings. Once I stepped
between my quarreling parents, and Zeus threw me off Mount Olympus.

Who am I? ________________________________________

5. I am not a very easy person to get along with. My mother and father don’t even like me. I like violence,
battles, and war. I cause trouble wherever I go. My traveling companions are Eris, pain, famine,
oblivion, and panic. I like to kill and hurt people, but when it comes to me getting hurt, I don’t like it
at all.

Who am I? ________________________________________

6. It has been said that I am the most loved god on Mount Olympus. I am considered very handsome. I
also have extraordinary talents in music, poetry, mathematics, and medicine. I love to play my lyre
that was given to me by Hermes.

Who am I? ________________________________________

7. I am the twin sister of Apollo although I have dark hair. Zeus is our father. When I was born, my father
asked me what I would like to have. I gave him a really long list of things I wanted, and he gave me
everything I asked for. Best of all, he allows me to run and hunt over the mountains and in the
woods for eternity. He also gave me maidens who serve my every need.

Aphrodite Athena Dionysus Gaea Hermes Medusa Pandora Persephone

1. I had a very unusual birth. I was born from my father’s head fully grown and wearing armor. I have several talents
and am very smart. There are many things I have given to mankind such as the ship, the plow, the trumpet,
and the bridle to cite a few. I am best known for creating the olive tree. I won the city of Athens when I did
that. I do not like to have people claim that they can do things better than I can. Arachne learned that the
hard way.

Who am I? ________________________________________

2. I am also known for having an unusual birth. Some say that I was born from the foamy sea. I do know that the
sea has been good to me and helps me to remain forever young and beautiful. I have little respect for other
women; they are not nearly as beautiful as I am. I am the wife of Hephaestus. He really doesn’t interest me,
but Zeus made me marry him. I am the mother of Eros.

Who am I? ________________________________________

3. I am very clever and lots of fun. When I was a baby, I stole Apollo’s herd of cows. Eventually I was caught, and
even though I pleaded innocence, it didn’t work. Apollo didn’t stay mad at me for very long because I gave
him a lyre that I made. I also invented the alphabet, written music, boxing, astronomy, and the scale. I get
around a lot and deliver many messages.

Who am I? ________________________________________

4. I was the last god to arrive on Mount Olympus. My father was Zeus, but my mother, Semele, was a human. She
died before I was born, and I was raised by the nymphs of Nysa. I, along with Demeter, am considered
mankind’s best friend. We even share the festival at harvest time.

Who am I? ________________________________________

5. I was one of the first. I fell in love with my husband when I spent all my time gazing at him. We had several
children called the Titans. People sometimes refer to me as Mother Earth.

Who am I? ________________________________________

6. I was created by the gods. Many of them gave me special gifts. I am very
curious. As a result of my curiosity, the people suffered many things such
as jealousy, sadness, and envy. My husband is Epimetheus, brother of
Prometheus. I still have hope that all things will work out.

Who am I? ____________________________________

7. I am the daughter of Demeter. One day I was out playing with my friends when a strange man came up
through a crack in the earth and kidnapped me. Ultimately I became his wife, but I still live with my
mother for part of the year.

1. I was a very silly child and bragged that I could do something unreasonable just to prove that I was the
son of Helios. I tried to drive the sun across the sky and didn’t do as my father told me. I helped
create the deserts and the ice caps at the poles. I also lost my life.

2. I have three heads and guard the entrance to Hades. I let people into Hades, but I do not let anyone
out unless instructed to do so by my master, the god of the underworld, Hades.

3. I ferry people across the River Styx to Hades. I am rather greedy and allow passage only to those who
can pay my fee.

Who am I? ________________________________________

4. I was raised by the nymphs because my mother was afraid that my father would eat me. When I
grew up, my mother and I plotted to fool my father, and with the help of my siblings and some of the
Titans, we overthrew my father. I am known as a ladies’ man and have had many children.

Who am I? ________________________________________

5. I love the sea and enjoy living there. I married Amphitrite, daughter of Nereus. I moved into his castle
under the sea. I created the horse and gave it to man along with several of my mistakes like the
camel and the zebra. I tend to be quite moody and cause great storms.

Who am I? ________________________________________

6. I am very gloomy and seldom leave my realm. However, I never have a shortage of people coming to
my kingdom to stay. I kidnapped my wife. She tends to be somewhat unhappy and goes back to
live with her mother for part of the year. I am very wealthy.

great deal to help Jason on his quest for the Golden Fleece. My favorite bird is a peacock.

lives with me part of each year. When she is not with me, I am very unhappy and do not do my job.
