Greek Mythology Pathfinder
Hello my Mythology Seekers! Remember what we discussed before moving to the pathfinder. You need to research and take notes on the Greek God or Goddess of your choice and you should cite your sources in MLA format. Here is a link to Owl Purdue for reference if needed for citation. Also review the example on Persephone if you need some help as you are gathering information. Have fun!
Which Greek God or Goddess will you choose?
