Letters to Zeus

In your assignment, "The Creation of the Universe According to the Ancient Greeks" you will have to write a letter as a Olympic God or Goddess to Zeus persuading him (and flattering him) to overthrow the Titans. You must persuade him in the form of a friendly letter (see the assignment sheet given in class).

Write a rough draft, keeping the following in mind,
Role – God or Goddess of Olympia


Audience – Zeus

Format – Persuasive Friendly letter

Topic – Persuade Zeus to overthrow the Titans (you may even be in Chronos’ stomach!)

Strong Verb – Persuade!


*** Rough drafts due: Friday!
