Greek mythology made easy, animal addition

Today was our final day of Saturday seminars L. Although I am sad that we will not be learning more about Roma on a weekly basis I am glad that we ended with a bang. Our last seminar was on Greek mythology. Now I know what you are thinking, “I thought you were learning about Roma not Greece.” Well to answer that Roman mythology was biased on Greek mythology. Our teacher Mrs. Wanket started out with a little history about Greece and compared it with Roma after which we dove right into learning about Greek mythology. When we were learning about the myths and the stories it was hard to remember who was who and the relationships they shared. So I came up with a system to remember the council of thirteen, which were the main gods and goddesses in Greek mythology. However to understand the system you will have to look at the key. Okay here we go!

Key: zeus= lion, athena= owl, apollo = hawk, hera= lioness, demeter = humming bird, poseidon = dolphin, hades = lizard, artemis= wolf, hermes= pigeon, aphrodite= flamingo , ares= rhino, and hephaestus = turtle, and the secret society = council of thirteen

Mr. Lion married Mrs. Lioness but cheated on her with everyone

Mr. dolphin and Mr. lizard were brothers to Mr. Lion

Mr. turtle married Mrs. flamingo but she cheated on him with everyone

Mrs. humming bird was the mother-in -law to Mr. lizard

Mr. hawk and Mrs. wolf were bother and sister

Mr. pigeon delivered mail to the other members of the secret society

Mr. rhino and Mrs. owl did not get along

All of the animals stated a secret society where Mr. Lion was the head leader.

Although it is short and sweet for me it explains the relationship between the council of thirteen and helps me remember their powers. After all if you know them then everything else seems to make much more since.
