The Life and Labors
of Hercules
The first major projects involved
in this unit are the creating of a bulletin board which traces
Hercules' journey across the Mediterranean region. The teacher
assigns individual students or groups of students to report on
one specific labor or relevant geographical location.
Labors
- Nemean Lion
- Lernean Hydra
- Cerynean Stag
- Erymanthian Boar
- Augean Stables
- Stymphalian Birds
- Cretan Bull
- Horses of Diomedes
- Girdle of Hippolyte
- Oxen of Geryon
- Golden Apples
- Cerberus
Geographic Locations
- Delphi
- Olympia
- Thebes
- Crete
Students are given report sheets
and must research their labor or geographic location using traditional
texts and the Internet. Below are some examples of the report
sheets students prepared for the bulletin board.
