Mythology-the Greek Gods (c' class)

After our discussion about mythology, Greek myths, the ancient Greek gods and other creatures in the class, you can now watch this entertaining cartoon about the Greek Gods of Olympus.

This is not real history but just legends and there are lots of versions!

Enjoy!
