Create your own God/Goddess
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a god or goddess of your own? The ancient Greeks created their gods and goddesses to help them explain many of the occurrences in their daily lives or to explain why certain things in nature were the way they were. We have discussed a few of the many gods and goddesses that were a part of Greek mythology. Your task is to create a NEW god or goddess and give him or her qualities. You may use known myths for inspiration but, do not plagerize. Rework them to make them your own, or come up with a completely new idea.
Keep in mind:
Myths were used to explain the origin of things.
Myths often included gods to explain the creation of things.
Myths explained natural phenomena.
