5.  Using what you know of mythology, create your own Greek myth.  Remember, Greek mythology reflected ancient Greek culture and society, so yours should as well.  You should have a good understanding of some of the creatures, and gods/godesses that were a part of Greek mythology, and you should understand the role they played in Greek myths.  You may chose to include some of these creatures in your myth, or you may want to create your own mythological characters and write about them.  This myth will be word processed and handed in along with the webquest answer sheet.
