In History
you may have learnt about the Roman and Greek gods. Gods of war,
goddesses of love, gods of death and destruction, they are all
pretty impressive.
For your homework
I would like you to think about the gods and goddesses that you
don't hear about. The unimpressive gods.
For example:
· Cuppa
the God of Tea;
· Éclair
the God of Crème Cakes;
· HaychBee
the Goddess of Pencils.
Those are
gods of silly things.
Make up your
own god or goddess to write about. Tell me a bit about them. What
do they look like? What are their temples like? What sacrifices,
tributes and gifts must you bring to their temples?
Write a short
story about your god or goddess. Think back to the Greek and Roman
myths you've heard to help you. Maybe your god sets a task for
a hero to perform or helps a hero with a quest. Perhaps your story
could be about how another god tricked your god or how your god
tricked someone else.
