Since we are studying Greek mythology, I want each of you to report on one of the Greek Gods/Goddesses. You must list their name, what they are the god/goddess of, and what they are known for. And, for extra credit, you may include a picture of the god/goddess that you chose.
The catch? Each person must chose a different god/goddess to report on. No gods/goddesses may be repeated on this blog.
