Greek Myth XX: Hymn to Poseidon, or The Hymnist Lost His Map

Posted byTriumvir ClioPosted inGreek Myth, The Greeks

The poet gets a little lost in the Homeric Hymn to Poseidon.

Discussion Prompts
  1. Helikon or Helike? Why?
  2. Poseidon is the god of the sea, horses, and earthquakes. What three random things would you want to be the god of?
  3. AP Credit: Explain the relationship between the things that Poseidon is the god of. What is the logic behind them?

I have a BA in History and Classical Civilization from Loyola University Chicago and an MPH from Western Michigan University. I've been a geometry teacher, a religion teacher, a writing tutor. I'm a writer, a knitter, a dancer, a singer, an actor. And, yes, for fun I like to reread everything that was assigned while getting my classics degree.
