Children recite poetry:
-Look, it's not the wind
Barrel tops sway -
Past millennia
The call comes.
And now there is a miracle trier
Shakes a sacred shiver,
You are a sparkling gray Pont
You swim after the Argonauts!...
-"There's a country like this in the middle of wine - a colored sea
Crete is beautiful, rich, washed by waves.
There are ninety cities in it, but people don’t even have an account.

- Greek mythology is divided into multiple periods Name the first two. (Archaic and Classical)
- Archaic period deities do not yet have the appearance of humans These are elements, forces of nature The gods of the classical period are anthropomorphic (have the appearance of humans).
- What are they called? (Olympian Gods)
- What is myth? (Myth is a poetic reflection of the ancient Greeks' ideas about the world, about nature, about human relationships).
- Yes, myth - these are legends about gods and heroes.They arose when people were powerless before nature and deified everything they could not understand and explain.

- Earth - Gaia, sky - Uranus, water - Ocean, abyss - Tartarus, sun - Helios, moon - Selene, night - Nykta, dawn - Eos.
- All the forces of nature lived in harmony until Uranus' son Kronos rebelled against his father and overthrew him Kronos was very afraid that his children would do the same to him And then he: (the children say: Swallowed the children that were born Only Zeus was saved by his mother She deceived Kronos by giving him a stone instead of Zeus Zeus grew up, defeated his father He forced him to return the swallowed brothers and sisters, and he himself became the main god (a thunderer).
