Take a walk with me through the Greek Underworld, past the river Styx, through the gates of Hades as we explore the Elysian Fields and Tartarus. What you may think the Underworld is like, is probably not really how it is. I also share my favorite assignment to do with my students to help them explore the Underworld - students create their own map of the Underworld as they read descriptions of it.

You can check out the Map of the Underworld Project here.

I've made this Google Doc of How I Map out My Year of Mythology to help you. In it, I have links to resources, websites, and myths. This is a living document, so I am continually adding to it as I find new things, record podcasts, write blog posts, and create products for teachers.
