Epilogue: Greek mythology in primary school in Greece

As Greeks, Greek mythology was part of the curriculum in school for one year on in the 3rd grade of elementary school.

It was an educational introduction to Greece’s great and endless history (over 7000 years) in a most pleasant pedagogical way.

We learned about the Greek Gods and Goddesses, heroes like Hercules or Theseus and more, and got used to studying and memorizing these easy to understand stories with a lot of symbolical depth.

A method full of fun and fantasy, preparing kids to study real history one year later.

Unfortunately back then there were no such great Greek mythology games that would help the learning process. But we are happy that our children have access to such great and fun educational material.
