About this worksheet
Eight gods of Mount Olympus for Year 5, over three pages and an answer page. Pupils match Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Hermes and Hades to clues that give each one's role and symbol, from Hera's peacock to the three-headed dog Cerberus. A picture page follows, where six of the gods are joined to an owl, winged sandals, a trident, Cerberus, a lyre and a thunderbolt. The last page links temples, sacrifices, painted pottery, coins and the poems of Homer and Hesiod to what each shows about Greek beliefs. It fits the England National Curriculum study of Ancient Greece. The key gives every match and a model answer to the written question.
