                               Zeus

      Do you know any ancient Gods of Greece? Well, Zeus is an ancient Greece God that played an important role in ancient Greece.  Zeus's father wanted to eat him, but Rhea -his mom/aunt-hid Zeus away so that he wouldn't get swallowed whole by his father like the rest of his siblings. Also, Zeus was planning to overthrow his father and get his siblings out of his father's stomach. Zeus married his sister Hera and had children. Another idea is that because Zeus had so many wives, he had tons of children. A 3rd fact is that Zeus was the God of the sky and ruler of the Olympian Gods. 3 characteristics about Zeus is that he is determined, brave, and took advantage of women. He is determined because he wanted to save his siblings and because of his determination he was able to do that. He was brave because he fought against his own father. He took advantage of women because he pretend to like a women and then he would swallow them so that the women inside of Zeus's stomach will become a part of him. For example if he met someone who was wise he would get to know them, then swallow them whole so that he would become wise also. Lastly,this God was powerful and respected because he punished anyone who broke or lied an oath and because he was a strong God of Greece.
            I chose Zeus because I think he is more powerful than any other God. I think this because he could basically do whatever he wants. I would fear Zeus because he has the ability to have lightning and use it to hurt someone. Also, because he could swallow you whole for your whole entire life. Lastly, there are strengths and weaknesses that Zeus had. One strength is that most people respected him. One weakness is that he would punish people really bad and he would swallow people whole.
         What do you think of Zeus? Do you fear him or do you respect him? What is one weakness or strength that he has other than what I have? I challenge you to choose a Greek God and answer the questions above. The God could be a man or a woman.

The new york times  

I was having a normal day, walking out to my car to go to work.. All of a sudden as i am driving back from work during rush hour i see a very ferocious monster heading my way.. His name was Daedalus, from ancient Greek. He was very very large he was so big that we looked like tiny ants in his point of view. Daedelus was walking, stepping on houses. Disturbing mankind in Madison Square Garden. Said Jenna Patel as New York Times interviewed her. People are going crazy. Most people have already died and the luck ones are surviving in this crisis. Schools are closed , jobs are closed and everyone is trying to leave new york all at once.

      Many people think that Daedelus did this because he thought that humans had not learned enough from where he comes from.This happened yesterday. There has not been an overwhelming amount of people looking up ancient Greek. People are now becoming much more involved in the coming of ancient Greek and how it formed. This is why Deadules took  over Madison Square Garden.

The Strong Rescuer Named Zeus

“This is breaking news! This little girl has reported that she has seen a man that was very strong, and flew her to school. Here is the girl that saw it all: Rachel Zen. “So, Rachel what happened?”“Well, you see it was snowing hard and there was a strong wind every now and then. So, I was on my way to school on December 18,2014 when my moms car suddenly got stuck in the snow. I couldn’t afford to be late because I was already late 5 times. If I am late again I will get a detention. So, my mom kept trying to get out of the snow, when suddenly the wind knocked down a tree right on the car.The good thing was that it was a tiny tree, but on the other hand we couldn’t move and I had only 5 minutes to get to my classroom.”

“Then what happened?” The reporter asked questionly.

“Well, Then we saw this humongous man that swooped down from the sky to us and he told us not to worry because he was there. So he took the tree off of the car and lifted the the car out of the snow with only one hand. He said and I quote ‘ I am the powerful and mighty Zeus.’ We were in the middle of a dead street in New York called Tree Street. No one else was there except us, so no one  could help us. He said that he will quickly fly me over to school while my mom relaxes. Zeus is now my hero!
