DESCRIPTION:
I am a retired high school English teacher and taught Greek Mythology. . I am currently working with an agent to pitch a television series called WOMAM IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY
. From the Author OLYMPIAN PLAYS is used as a textbook by one university and numerous high schools across the country. A non-copyright quiz test packet covering all the material in the book is available for $10
"Anthropological Drama at it's best!" according to Raychel. For my Anthropology nerds out there, if you are looking for exaggerated Greek drama anticipating to find out what happens AFTER you have read the myths, you should read this playwright because you will have insight on the perspective of the characters individually.
Achilles, Odysseus and Aeneus affirm the price of heroism. The Oedipus Trilogy portrays his unique brand of misery. In the near future, a separate companion book for teachers or book club use with be available. Other heroes like Hercules and Perseus also have individually difficult trials they withstand. In short, the panoply of these timeless, universally loved stories runs across the pages of OLYMPIAN PLAYS, a book that can be read either in a school classroom or sitting in a favorite easy chair. It will contain quizzes with multiple choice, true/false, word association and essay/discussion questions with suggested answers.. OLYMPIAN PLAYS presents the Greek myths in a dramatic script format, which makes them more modern and more personal and reveals interesting sidelights in the interactions between and among the mortals and immortals. Many not generally known details of the ILIAD, ODYSSEY and AENEID are brought forth in their human proportions amidst their epic proportions. The tales of lovers and other Greek characters reinforce the common thread of humanity that runs through their lives and continues in our lives today
