Explain what is meant by the term “fate.” Today’s Goal: Learn more about myths as you continue to read and analyze “Medusa’s Head” (PDF); if time permits in class, read the cartoon version, Perseus and the Gorgon’s Head (PDF). Outcomes: State two key purposes of myths that make them distinct from other types of folk lore. Explain what is meant by the term “fate.” Describe what an “oracle” is in mythology. List five characteristics of heroes in mythology. Analyze the myth, “Medusa’s Head,” to find examples of the characteristics of mythological heroes.

Starter #1: This week we learned some new things about mythology. Who can tell me . . . What is the purpose of myths? 1) To explain the world around us 2) To illustrate the relationship between the gods and humans What is fate? The idea or belief that what happens to us in the future is already determined or decided for us—we cannot control it. Question: Do you believe in fate? What do you think our faith teaches us about fate? What’s an “oracle”? Someone (usually a spiritual person, like a priest or priestess) who foretells the future [“priest” in a general sense, not Catholic] What would our Catholic faith have to say about “oracles”?

Starter #2: We also learned that heroes are prominent (important) in mythology, and their stories help to illustrate the relationship between gods and human beings. What are the five main characteristics of heroes in mythology? 1) Often helped by “the gods” 2) Sometimes they themselves are “gods” 3) They have magical powers/abilities 4) They face overwhelming difficulties/challenges 5) Ultimately, they often save their whole society from ruin Does our Catholic faith ever present us with heroes to illustrate the relationship between God and humans? Explain.

Starter #3: Let’s open our Chromebooks to where we left off (after p. 350). Who can summarize our story thus far?
