- In this episode of Teaching Guidelines, Tanya Charlton models how to teach a lesson from Memoria Press's D’Aulaires’ Greek Myths program.
While Rome illuminates the formation of governments and societies, Greece illuminates the human condition. Introduce your students to the kinds of characters they will surely meet in life through the entertaining and exaggerated stories of the Greek gods. You will want to read it to your family first and then let your children read the stories again and again. The beautiful artwork is a wonderful teaching tool that allows you to ask questions about each detail. Greek myths are timeless and universal stories that serve as archetypes for the human character and the search for the divine.
This is an ideal beginning book for your child’s classical education journey, regardless of age! Superbly written and illustrated, this classic introduces timeless tales that have enchanted people for thousands of years. Because they are everywhere in Western art and literature, Greek myths are the essential background for a classical education. You can hardly read Shakespeare without them!
Each of the 30 lessons in the Student Guide presents important facts to know, vocabulary, comprehension questions, and a picture review and activities section. It also points out the many references to Greek mythology in the modern world.

This is an excellent overview, Tanya! Greek Myths is one of the jewels of the MP curriculum and a wonderfully accessible place for parents to shore up (or even begin!) their own classical education.
This is so helpful. Thank you! I love your company.
Wonderful review of the curriculum! We are loving Greek Myths!
Thanks so much! It's one of our favorites too!
This is awesome! Thank you! We have a bilingual homeschool I am planning on using the Christian Studies program for Third Grade and I will translate the guides and read from a Spanish Bible. Could you make a video like this for that course? I appreciate you all and your efforts!
Hey there, thanks so much for commenting and letting us know how we can help! We've let Tanya know and she's writing the script now!
@@memoriapress Wonderful! I love her videos!
Is it possible to complete 1 lesson per week in one sitting....? I'm just trying to figure out if I need to plan to schedule one or two days each week...? My kids are excellent readers and writers though we will do a lot orally in terms of answering the questions! I just didn't catch if there was a time frame for completing 1 lesson -- though I know this so often varies! Thank you!
Hey Jayni!
Yes, we do typically do the reading and complete the student guide pages all on one day. But we suggest reviewing past lessons, Facts to Know, and Drill Questions on another day during the week. The second day's review will not take as much time (especially with such excellent readers and writers :) ) but we think its good to give students that additional time for review and exercises.
Hope this helps!
