Create your own Greek God/Goddess

Directions: Greek Gods and Goddesses have very human flaws and imperfections. You will create
your own Greek god or goddess, complete with a name, a symbol, and his or her own myth story. You
can get as creative as you wish with this assignment; however, your god or goddess can only have ONE
domain or power and they cannot be named after an actual person.

Requirements:
 Your god or goddess must have a name (Greek and Roman)
 Your god or goddess must have a symbol (example: Zeus has a thunderbolt)
 Your god or goddess must have an original myth/story about him or her.
 Your story must be at least ONE full page in length.
 Include detail and elaboration
 Clear organization and storyline
 Use a least 5 adjectives to describe your Greek god or goddess
 MLA Heading

Example:
The goddess, Swiftie, is the goddess of song writing. Swiftie quietly sits at Starbucks on the corner of
41st Street and Park Avenue and writes songs about people she observes. She then catalogs the songs
alphabetically and by subject in her shiny burgundy briefcase. Don’t get this goddess confused with
Cupid. She certainly does not make people fall in love, but rather uses her songs heal people from their
problems or sickness. One of Swiftie’s many symbols includes 13 thin, black mechanical pencils and a
sky blue journal. She lives in a quaint tree house in Central Park, right next to Columbus Circle and the
Museum of Natural History. Even though her Greek name is Swiftie, the commoners know her better
by her Roman Name, Felicia.
