We have learned that Greek drama grew out
of religious rituals, particularly those honoring
Dionysus, the god of wine and fertility.
When we read Antigone, we will discuss many
references to other Greek gods and myths.
For this project, you will research one of those allusions to learn more about it. You will then present your findings to the class, so that we will all understand its importance to the ancient Greeks and why Sophocles chose to reference it in his play.
Directions:
