Enrichment Overview
Hello Freshmen! Ms. Syes and Mr. Tidyman hope that you
enjoyed reading the heroic tales of Jason, Perseus, Theseus, and Hercules last
week! While each of the Greek adventurers overcame impossible odds, and won
glory and renown for their names, tragedy and darkness touched each of their
lives in some way. You may have also noticed that these great champions were
incredibly powerful, but weren’t necessarily good people (much
like the residents of a certain Mt. Olympus, if you catch our drift).
This week, we will stay focused on champions of combat and
adventure, but pivot slightly. Rather than read a collection of individual
myths about 1 mythological hero at a time, this week we will be reading the
story of one massive conflict: The Trojan War*. This war, pitting the allied
cities of Greece against the walled fortress of Troy, is thought to have taken
place around 3,000 years ago. Many students ask: Did this really happen? As
with many myths, the facts are hard to sift from the fiction.
Please use the chart below, with embedded links to
materials, as a road map through this next week of school.

existed? Well, have you tried looking
the city up in an encyclopedia?

*If you’re curious to read a fuller, more detailed account
of the Trojan War, check out Homer’s
The Iliad. It’s not
assigned reading for class, but like The Odyssey, it’s a classic.*
