An exploration of ancient Greek myths at The British Museum

This week, the Dutch, German, Greek, Italian and Polish Language & Literature classes visited the British Museum as part of their Mythology unit. The students explored how the ancient Greek myths were represented in pottery and the statues of the Parthenon. Through observation-based activities and interactive tasks, the students inquired into the symbols behind the myths and their importance in the formation of the value system of the ancient Greeks. Students (and teachers!) even struck a pose as statues and had a photo with Phidias, the sculptor of the Parthenon marbles!
