Pictures of Greek Gods

-
One picture is worth a thousand words...

I agree, and I think pictures are also more fun. Therefore I am trying to add at least one picture next to every deity I feature on my website. If I have more photos of the god available, I just link from the god's page to the god's photo gallery.

Some pictures are taken from Wikimedia Commons (by the way, a great resource for greek mythology), others are taken by myself during my visit at the National Archaeological Museum of Athens. Feel free to copy any picture you like!

Yesterday I started adding further details about the gods' pictures, like who or what is depicted in the picture, approximately when the piece of art was created, where it can be found now and so on. You can read those details at the bottom of each picture.

And, of course, if you know something more or better than me, just leave a comment on this post. Thanks :)

The New Acropolis Museum- Athens' Pride and Joy

Today I finally found the time to treat myself with a walk in the finest part of Athens, the Plaka. My destination was my long awaited dream, the Acropolis Museum, the new highlight of Athens, majestically located at the foot of the Acropolis. Well, I was prepared to see something extraordinary, but what I saw surpass ed all expectations . I can say, the Museum is simply breathtaking. The building is huge ( 226,000 square feet - 10 times larger than the old museum) , ultra-modern, full of light and incredibly clean! It displays the Parthenon sculptures, reliefs and artifacts as well as other finds from the Acropolis hill, r eflecting the religious beliefs, the standards and the daily life of the Ancient Greeks . Another great highlight is that, right under your feet, you can see excavations through the glass floor-panels. It's a strange feeling which I really enjoyed. Should you ever happen to visit Athens, I think it's the first place you should consider for a visit

Mythology Quiz online!

Greetings from a very hot Athens, I like websites having interactivity, be it in form of forums, chats or quizzes...whatever- and having an educational website, I thought including quizzes in it would be an interesting, challenging option . So now that its high summer in Greece (which means everything is quiet and cozy and there is not much work to do as a teacher), and after some relaxing days at the beach, I finally found the time and strength to develop the first mythology quiz. I hope you like the idea just like me, since there are more quizzes to come soon! Now click on http://www.greek-gods.info/quiz/ and take part. Good luck!!
