Short Answers (10 points)
5 points per question, so answer well!
1. We have acquired knowledge on the titans which played a role in the Titanomachy. There was also a second generation. Find out who they were and who their parents were. If they did not fight on the side of the Titans, tell me this too. It can be in point form or a paragraph.
2. I have only mentioned a few minor gods. Since this class covers the basics only, this question gives you an opportunity to research the Fates. I’d like a detailed answer on who they were and what they did.

Extra Credit
Choose any ONE option for 30 points
Greek to English
Many words have been derived from the Greek language, like the word panic. I want you to list another 30 words (one point per word) that were derived from the GREEK (not Latin!) language. Also give me the Greek word they were derived from.
Poetry Time!
I want you to pretend you’re Homer or Hesiod and write me a poem about any minor god you’d like. Tell me about their birth and any significant event they took part in. Minimum 30 lines and original work please.
Artists, Ahoy!
There’s a lot of material for you artistically inclined people mentioned in this lesson. But this time, I want a twist to the art. I want you to draw anything I’ve mentioned in the lesson but in the way they’d have drawn it back in the Greek day and age. If you don’t know what I mean, go take a look at the old Greek pots and inspire yourself!
