I created this resource with middle and high school students in mind. Know that this educational digital download supplements a unit on Greek Mythology. It contains links to each myth’s primary sources but does not contain the intellectual property of protected authors. The content provided is either the original content of Stones of Erasmus or contains content in the public domain. It is designed for an English Language Arts Mythology unit.
