Assignments
These assignments serve many purposes. They are exercises in research, the use of
specific Perseus Links, word analyzation and evaluation of information both textual and
visual. The topic of each exercise can be changed without having to alter or write a new
assignment. Because of the amount of information and its accessibility in Perseus, high
school students and undergraduates will be able to do these assignments at a level
previously achievable only by graduate students and professors.
Epithets
The names of gods and goddesses are often accompanied by a finite number of traditional
epithets that describe the personality or associations of the divinity. Below is a list
of epithets and their Greek equivalents associated with Athena. Students should do
their own investigation for the epithets of Athena and then check their findings against
this chart. Additions should be made to the chart as necessary. Students can then form
a better understanding of how the Greeks and other cultures viewed the nature of their
gods and goddesses from the list of epithets they create and to which they add.
