Mount Olympus

From our study of Greece, came an idea for a Mount Olympus on the door to the office. We listened to several stories on CD of the crazy Greek gods and all their adventures as we drove around the greater Seattle metropolitan area. I had fond memories of my own fascination with myths when I was young (especially D'aulaires Greek Myths) and the kids enjoyed them immensely but at the end still had trouble keeping them all straight. So we made a Mount Olympus and put them on the mountain according to their respective importance. Some are colored in, and some are original drawings. Cupid is the one flying around at the top. When we got to the Romans, we added labels with their Latin names.

Listening to the stories about Zeus and Hera one day in the car and then switching over to the NPR updates on the primaries, I realized that it all seemed familiar.... Zeus and Hera, Bill and Hillary!
