THE OLYMPIANS

Students, 5th Level A, have drawn their perceptions about Ancient Greece and their Gods and Goddess.

As we know, there were twelve (12) Gods in the Olympus (The Olympians). They were named from their dwelling, Mount Olympus. They were men and women. Their names were Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Hestia, Hera, Ares, Athena, Apollo, Aphrodite, Hermes, Artemis and Hephaestus.

Students used their imagination and creativity drawing the gods and the goddess in Art Lessons. To learn more, visit
