KS2 Theseus, and the Minotaur Re-imagined! - Word Doc/PDF

Theseus, Arachne ( NOT Ariadne the king’s daughter) and the Minotaur

Whilst studying Greek myths with Year 5, their task was to write their own version of a Greek myth, using a hero and a monster of their choice.
Working with a small group, I created my own Greek myth with the characters of Theseus, Arachne and the Minotaur - this is using Arachne the spider woman rather than Ariadne (the King’s daughter). This gives an example of how a myth could be re-imagined – modelling some of the descriptive language and grammatical features, punctuation and structure that they could use in their own story.

This could be used for pupils as an example of how to create their own version of a Greek myth too. Suitable for KS2 - particularly Year 5 and Year 6.

This resource is provided as a Word Document and a PDF for ease of printing/use.
