Have you ever heard about Greek and Roman heroes like Hercules? Maybe you have even heard of Odysuss being in the Trojan war, having to fight for ten years and not being able to see his family while in the war? Or Achilles being practically immortal? My name is Alexander Kozlow. I'm in fifth grade, I love baseball, Greek mythology, Roman mythology, and video games. I also like school. My favorite subjects are math, science, and literacy. I like reading, and playing Basketball with my best friend Yorenos. I also like playing tennis and writing. On top of that, I love sports, and games. That is what I like and my identity (who I am). 

For my capstone project, I am going to do Greek and Roman Mythology heroes. I am very curious about this topic because one time when I was in a library, I came across this book series called Percy Jackson, so I became interested in the topic and read the full series. After I finished reading the series, I became focused on getting more information and books from Percy Jackson, so I read a related series called “The Heroes Of Olympus” which has a lot of information, and I fell in love with the series. This is how I started being interested in Greek mythology and Roman mythology, and how I got my background information.

My sub-questions are who is Hercules, who is Archillies, who is Odysuss, Who is Percy Jackson, and who is Annabeth Chase. In the sub question: who is Hercules, I will be telling you about who he is, and what he did, for example the twelve labors of Hercules. I will show you who Archillies is, like the famous story of how he is immortal for fighting, but if he gets stabbed in one spot (which I won’t tell you yet) he dies. I will also show you who percy jackson was, like how he completed many quests, and saved the world many times. On top of that, I will show you how Anebeth completed many quests, and saved the world with Percy Jackson. I will show you about Odysseus, or like how he literally had to be separated from his family for ten years. Those are my sub-questions.

Today, Greek and Roman mythology are considered a myth and not a religion. These days, people read about Greek and Roman mythology for fun, and to see what people believed in in ancient Greece, and ancient Rome. Some people also study ancient Greece and Rome to see if it was really all real and all the monsters, and gods were real, but not many people do that. You can also go to museums to view old ancient Greece and Roman artifacts, like swords, shields, armor, and more. That is what most of Roman and Greek mythology are known for today. Also as I go through the rest of my paragraphs and essays, I will go into more depth about what ancient Greece and Rome was like today and back then.
