5 Cornell Notes Section 2: Topic: Greek Literature Standard: 6SS4.4 Questions: Notes: Section 4: Section 3: What are the Greek Myths and why are they important to us? What are the Iliad and the Odyssey and why are they important? Section1: Name: Subject: Social Studies Date: The Greeks believed in their gods, powerful beings who often interacted with our realm. These gods had relationships with each other, often resulting in the bearing of children. The 12 main gods dwelt on Mount Olympus where they ruled over the earth, sea, and the realm of the dead. The gods were responsible for the incidents of everyday life, from planting crops to traveling. The exploits of the gods (and other super beings) were often written about in epic poems or the plays or in stories (myths). Heroes, like Hercules, have come to us from the Greeks. Many modern heroes are modeled after the Greek heroes. The Iliad and Odyssey, by Homer, are epic poems which tell the stories of brave heroes. In the Iliad we have the telling of the story of Helen of Troy who runs off with Paris, the King of Troy. This becomes the spark that caused the Trojan War, which ends when the Greeks outsmart the Trojans, creating an enormous wooden horse and sending away their fleet of ships. The Trojans, thinking they had won, pulled the horse into the city. The soldiers hiding within opened the gates and let in the Greek army which swept over Troy, winning the war. This is important because it was the first epic poem and first major war story. In the Odyssey, Odysseus fights for ten years in the Trojan War and then begins a ten year journey back to his family. Presumed dead by those at home, suitors begin to try to take his beautiful wife, Penelope. He deals severely with them upon his return. This is important because it was the beginning of all adventure stories. What are Fables and how do they help us today? The Greek Fables, written by Aesop, were short stories, often involving anthropomorphized animals who solve problems or learn life lessons. Some of the more popular fables include The Ant and the Grasshopper, The Mouse and the Lion, Belling the Cat, and The Tortoise and the Hare. This was the beginning of using situations to teach themes or morals, especially to young children. Vocabulary: Consider the origin; syllables; root words, meaning, and spelling of the following words: Myths Fables Epic Poems Summary: The Greeks have blessed the world with wonderful stories and literature. The myths, legends, epic poems and stories, and the fables have delighted people for thousands of years. Many count them as central to any genuine education.
