What is the relevance of myths in the world in which we live? Why are myths integral to cultures world- wide? What is man s place in the universe? Does fate determine a human s future? What factors inspire an individual to leave behind what is familiar and comfortable in order to experience what is new or difficult? By what standards is an individual judged as heroic? How does pride derail a hero? Core Units: 1) Beowulf 2) Mesopotamian Gods: The Epic of Gilgamesh 3) Greek Mythology Core Literature: Beowulf: A New Verse Translation (Seamus Heaney) The Epic of Gilgamesh Metamorphoses (Mary Zimmerman) Theogony (Hesiod) Work and Days (Hesiod) In addition, students will read on- line versions of plays, myths, poems, and short stories.

Students will employ a wide range of strategies as they write and use different writing process elements appropriately to communicate with different audiences for a variety of purposes. Understandings: Students will understand that Greek myths have a universal and lasting significance because they deal with the basic mysteries of human life. By using a wide range of strategies, readers can increase comprehension, appreciation, and evaluation of ancient texts; Greek myths reflect Greek culture and values, and, by extension, Greek myths reflect the culture and values of Western Civilization; Certain motifs dominate Greek myths Examples: Hasty Oath Motif. Succession of Power Motif, Twice Born God Motif Allusion to Greek myths is a short- hand for writers and artists of all ages; mythological allusion is a tool for student writers and artists to explore. What identifies the various kinds of myth? How does mythology reflect the ageless tension between the sexes? Does fate determine a human s future?
