Welcome to English 9 Block 4's Pantheon Page!
This page has been created for Horizon Honors English 9 Block 4 class for the epic poetry unit on Homer's Odyssey.
Since the Greeks used their epic poetry and other stories to communicate their cultural values and beliefs, it is important that we understand a bit about their deities and how they were used to explain natural or cultural phenomenon. They Odyssey is rich with references to the Gods and myths surrounding them. The Greeks naturally understood these things, but for our understanding, we require some additional detail to really appreciate the rich stories surrounding the references made in the Odyssey. |
