An interesting story to share
Here is a myth about how Athens got its name.
The Myth of Athens begins with Athena (also known as the Roman god Minerva) and Poseidon (god of the seas). Athena and Poseidon both wanted to be the protectors of Athens. To keep the two from arguing, Kekrops (also called an earth child who was a demigod), was pronounced as an arbitrator. The two gods, Athena and Poseidon, had to create something valuable for Athens. Poseidon created a well (though some sources say he gave the city a horse) and Athena created the olive tree. In the end it was the olive tree which won out as a symbol of peace and prosperity, and Athens was thenceforth named after the Goddess Athena, and Kekrops became the first king of Athens. Athens was also blessed with the vine tree, given by the god Dionyssos (god of wine). Wine, being integral to trade and life in Athens, was not native to mainland Greece, but migrated originally from Crete. Wine was used in many religious ceremonies, and was fundamental to many of the wine cults which formed through out Greece.

Welcome!
Dear Students and Parents,
Welcome to my Blog! First and foremost, let me say that I am very excited about the opportunity to work with you all this semester. I am a personal believer that an education is the most valuable asset that a person can possess. My goal is to make learning about Classical and Medieval History interesting and exciting. Expect to be challenged. Throughout my education, I know that the more I struggled to grasp a concept, the more excited I was when I finally understood it. I want to do the same for you; engage your mind, make you think hard, and most importantly, help you make connections between what we learn and your daily lives.
For example, the first history text was written by a man in Ancient Greece named Herodotus. Today, a teacher named Miss Hornaday will start creating a history about your semester. Pretty cool, isn't it? You can check this blog for a variety of things that will guide our semester: Powerpoint presentations, assignments, readings, interesting websites and more! It will be my goal to update this blog everyday. You can visit it to check what your homework assignment is, print off Powerpoint slides to take notes on in class, or just browse.
I hope that you will use it, and that it will make the semester run smoothly for you.
Best wishes,
Miss Hornaday
