Ancient Greek Monsters and Myths
Next week we will be learning about myths and legends. The myths and legends of Ancient Greece were dominated by tales of heroes, gods and monsters.
For this homework you will be looking at the monsters of myth and legend. I would like you to create your own monster. Draw a picture of it and label your picture to tell me what each part does. Then write a paragraph telling me about your monster. Tell me about where it lives, what it does, how it behaves and what it has done to the heroes that have come across it.
You can write your paragraph on the blog so that we can read it together in class!
If you’re having trouble creating your monster, try the old Greek myth trick… simply take the head of one animal and combine it with the body of another. You can always add wings and a tail.
Medusa was a evil monster having face of a hideous human with living venomous snakes in place in hair. When everybody sees her eyes and her colour eyes are green and red then she turns everyone in stone because Medusa is a devil lady.

when Ceasant wakes up he walks to the forest and he kills anything that gets in his way. He doesnt listen to anyone but himself and he is very powerful. He uses his axe to fight. He loves to hunt and kills bigger things than himself! Ceasant has lived for thousands of years, and he has the body of a lion. His tail has a sensor on the end, and can spot when danger is comong. He has the wings of an eagle, and the torso and head of a man. He is a bad guy. His hobby is running up and down mountains. By mal
ReplyDeleteThe flying Monster was born in a cloud so that is where it lives. But it has no family.
ReplyDeleteThe flying monster behaves very bad and nobody has lived when they came across it. It might do little tricks on you so you must be careful.
The flying monster has a head of a pig because pigs are very clever, they can: smell, hear, see and taste.
The flying monster has a body of a horse because horses are strong and with that strenght they can: punch, hit and push.
It has the legs of a cheetah because they are the fastest animal in the world so it can run super fast, like Speedy Gonzalez.
It is called " The Flying Monster" because it has angel wings to fly high in the sky and could spit on another monster and the flying monster will win.
My ancient Greek monster
ReplyDeleteMy monster is called as Cerberus and its a wolf with three heads. It has dagger like teeth, sharp eyes, extremely long tongue, thin body, snakes on its nose, forehead and toes. His father's name is Typhon who is multi snake headed.
It lives in the underworld and guards the gates of the it and prevents the dead from leaving. Some people call him the "Hound of Hades"
The snakes on its body spit venom to scare away the heroes from rescuing the people from the underworld and some of them could wrap their body and strangle them.
The monster uses its tongue grab its prey or someone trying to escape from it. The claws are for ripping the flesh of their prey. It uses its tail to whip the heroes.

ReplyDeleteonce upon a time there was a monster named scylla which lived deep in the ocean.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a snake with six heads of a dragon.
It breaths fire and used to burn which ever sailor boat would pass to close to scylla and drown in the ocean forever.
