Greek+Mythology+Webquest+-+Task



The format for the submission of these questions will be decided by the teacher at the beginning of the assignment. Regardless, it is good practice to keep a handwritten copy for yourselves in order to ensure that your hard work is not lost. You should use the resources at the bottom of this page to answer these questions. All other sources must be approved by me before you use them for this project.

Using the links provided for you, answer the following questions in as much detail as possible:

1. Create a family tree that spans from the creation of the world out of nothing (Chaos) to the Olympian gods and the children of the Titans.

2. Name at least three titans, describing their physical traits and portfolio (things they were rulers of/powers they have).

3. How were the Olympians freed from Cronus's rule?

4. How did the Olympians win the war against the Titans?

5. How did Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon divide the world after the war?

6. What became of the Titans after the Olympians won?

7. Name and briefly describe (2-3 sentences) 6 major Greek Gods. Describe powers, personality, allies, etc. You may use any of the principle Olympians for this, which can be found on the Theoi link below.
