LINKS TO HISTORY WEBSITES



 This is your first project for Social Science. You have to create a booklet with these four parts included in it.

PART 1: THE MAIN GODS AND GODESSES.
Choose a god or goddess that you are interested in and write a profile for them. In your profile:
• Identify the god or goddess
• Identify any object or animal used to represent them
• Identify the aspect of life they ruled over (sun, sea, war)
• Identify his or her relationship to other gods/goddesses
• Identify an interesting fun fact  or story about the god or goddess

Imagine you were alive in ancient times. What position would you have: politician, land owner, soldier, housewife? As an ancient Greek or Roman, which god or goddess would your family have an altar for?
• Tell why you chose this god or goddess for your "family's" altra. (Think about what your position in Greek or Roman society would have been)
