Life in ancient Greece comes alive with 15 hands-on activities for kids 9-12.
Homer's Iliad and Odyssey: The Iliad tells the story of a single event that occurred during the ninth year of the Trojan War. Achilles, a Greek warrior, became angry at the Greek leader Agamemnon when Agamemnon took a slave who belonged to Achilles. In retaliation, Achilles withdrew from battle and prayed that the war would turn against the Greeks'and it did. Achilles finally returned to battle when his best friend was killed by the great Trojan hero, Hector. In the Odyssey, Homer tells of Odysseus's long journey home after the Trojan War. Delayed for 10 years by the gods, Odysseus encounters much trouble on the way and falls in love with the goddess Kalypso. But when given the choice between staying with Kalypso and becoming immortal, or returning to his wife who is waiting at home, Odysseus chooses to continue home.
