I created this resource with middle and high school students in mind. It is designed for an English Language Arts Mythology unit — 

• For any myth-related unit!
• Supplement your reading of Homer's Odyssey, Edith Hamilton's Mythology, Robert Graves' Complete Greek Myths — and more.

Know that this educational digital download is a supplement to a unit on Greek Mythology. The lesson includes links to full-text primary resources but the product itself does not contain copies of the individual myths.
