You will be graded on:

•  All of the following are included on your poster. (15 points)

1. What is the basic origin and history of this Olympian? Don't forget to include both Greek and Roman names of your god.
2. What is this god or goddess associated with (wine, fertility, war, death, grain, a certain planet, an occupation, etc.)? 
3. What symbols usually attend this god or goddess (eagle, thunderbolt, winged shoes, etc.)? 
4. Explain a favorite story in which this god or goddess chiefly figures.
5. Note at least one reference or allusion one may find in arts and culture (music, painting, ads, etc.). 
6. Search the Scriptures: Find a verse, passage, or story from the Bible that relates to a story from your god or goddess (perhaps the moral is similar; perhaps it is opposite; perhaps the story appears to be a modified reflection of a story in the Bible)
7. Lastly, find at least one modern word (or word root) that is derived from your god or goddess.  Include that word or root and its definition on your poster.

• Effort was put forth so that your poster is a worthwhile teaching tool. (15 points)
