Greek Mythology ideas
[email protected]
Hi,
Loking for resources for my 6.5yo son who is really into Greek mythology
right now. We have read the D'Auliere's book and Marcia William's Greek Myths
for Young Children which he LOVED (the cartoon strip style really appealed to
him.) I'm thinking that he might like to watch some videos, but he would prefer
something animated. Thanks for any suggestions!

There are some tapes we've listened to .....oh my, what is the name of them?
I think there is at least one that was by either Jim Weiss (my first guess) or Odds Bodkin.
Odds is our favorite storyteller, but I'm pretty sure Jim did the greek myth tape.
We found them at our library.

My dd (6) is also really into mythology and ancient civilizations. Two
computer games she *loves* (along with dh!) are Ages of Empire and Ages of
Mythology. There a bit advanced, but dh is a pretty patient coach, and she
can play a scenario pretty independently now.

Disney movies may suck for the most part in my mind ( I DID like Hercules though) but they prove the point that kids will take what they need and learn unexpected things from even the worst, most inaccurate sources. '6 Million Years BC' went a long way to proving that for me too though. Catherine loved that one.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Yup. Completely wrong retelling but it sparked an interest in greek myths for my daughter and we spent last summer reading them. It's also meant that a little toy of Fluffy from Harry Potter has been named Cerebus and it also led to a brief interest in the solar system.

So obviously the Ray Harryhausen masterpiece "Jason and the Argonauts" is a
huge favorite, right?
