Greek mythology in everyday life

-
The more I delve into greek mythology, the more amazed I get by how much some aspects of greek mythology still apply nowadays- both in Greece and worldwide.

So I am going to start a new section next week, when I will hopefully have finished my research on the greek deities' symbols. In this section, I will focus on modern customs and sayings of everyday life that have their roots in greek mythology. I am then planning to expand this section with a list of famous people/celebrities that are named after greek gods, along with a brief description and links to official resources of them.

Feel free to comment on this thoughts of mine, your opinion is precious and more than welcome!

The New Acropolis Museum- Athens' Pride and Joy

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!!
