I struggled a bit making these pages... I wanted to balance
how the Ancient Greeks portrayed the gods and goddesses in their artwork with modern considerations (like making sure
everyone had their clothes on) to come up with pages children would enjoy
coloring.
Considerations when using these pages:
- In some cases, the Roman and Greek names for the gods/goddesses get mixed
up in modern story telling. For example, Hercules is the Roman name
for the half mortal/half god hero. Heracles or Herakles is the Greek
name.
- In some cases there are different (often conflicting) versions of stories
about the gods and goddesses. For example, regarding the birth of
Aphrodite, one story indicates she was born from the sea foam (on the
shell of a scallop). Another says she was the daughter of Zeus and
Dione. The first makes for a more interesting/fun coloring page, so I
used it. I also made sure everything was G rated when choosing which
stories to portray.
