Prepare yourselves!
You are about to enter a world unlike any other.
There's blood.
Drama.
Love stories.
Heartbreak.
War.
Monsters.
What could possibly contain all this? Greek mythology, of course! So, hang on my friends and gird yourself (don't know what that means? Look it up! That's what dictionary.com is for!) with knowledge - knowledge that is awesome. And, it will impress your friends. And, your Communication Arts teacher (me). And, it might even land you in the final round on Jeopardy one day and the question will be about Greek mythology and you'll think, "Ha! I've got this! My ninth grade teacher taught me all about this and I REMEMBER IT ALL!" - in which case you will then hand over half your cash winnings to me. You know, because you were so grateful I helped you gird yourself with knowledge!
