Greek Civilizations Constructed Response Homework

The civilization of Greece was filled with many epics, or stories, of spectacular heroes overcoming various forces and obstacles.  These stories were often highly illustrated dramatizations of non-fictional events.  Using your notes from class and the Internet, effectively answer the following statement and question:

1) Which war/epic would you consider to be the most important to Greek culture? Why? (Ex. Peloponnesian War, Persian War, Odyssey, etc.)

2) Which two gods of Olympus would you consider to be your favorite? Why?

Evaluate and answer each question in 40-60 words. In your responses, please only utilize FACTUAL information, not emotional. (Ex. The Peloponnesian War was the most important because there was a lot of blood).  Make sure that your first and last name are present in the post to receive full credit.
