Musical Mythology
Apollo
(Tune: “You Are My Sunshine”)
The god Apollo was born on Delos The son of Leto and mighty Zeus.
The god of music and light and reason, He was handsome, smart, and couth.
He went to Delphi on Mount Parnassus
To conquer Python with silver shafts. The sibyl now heard words of Apollo.
When he spoke, the die was cast.
Apollo’s brother, the clever Hermes, Stole fifty cows from Apollo’s herd. He played his lyre as a distraction,
And a sudden trade occurred.
The god Apollo adored the sunshine. His twin Diana adored the moon.
Apollo also adored his lyre So he played it night and noon.
Apollo mentored the lovely Muses.
On Mount Parnassus, they played and danced. They sang of heroes and ancient history.
Mankind’s knowledge was enhanced.

(Tune: “A-Hunting We Will Go”)

Diana, tall and fair. Liz Hubbard, Sagel, ID Susan Hengelsberg, Perry, NY Ann Edwards, Belle, MO

Artemis and Actaeon Write Your Own Ending
Artemis took her revenge on Actaeon for a mistake he made, a mistake which proved to be deadly. What if Actaeon had been friends with one of the other gods or goddesses and had called for them to help him just as Artemis was turning him into a stag? Would the story have come out differently? Would Actaeon have turned into some other animal? Would the god or goddess who was his friend have taken revenge on Artemis? Would Actaeon have become a constellation, or would he have had adventures of his own? In the space below, write an alternate ending for the myth of Artemis and Actaeon. You may want to write the story from Actaeon’s point of view, or perhaps as told by one of his dogs, or in the words of one of the nymphs who was watching.

Make Artemis’ Stag and Quiver Materials needed for each STAG 3 wooden clothespins 1 small piece of corrugated cardboard small piece of yarn or pipe cleaner for tail glue black marker 2 googly eyes Directions
Glue clothespins with one upright (the horns) and t wo in the opposite direction (the legs). Glue a small pad o f the corrugated cardboard between the legs to separate them. Glue on the eyes, and draw the nose with a marker. Glue on the tail. Materials needed for each QUIVER a piece of stiff cardboard, 2-inches by 5-inches 1 large paperclip scissors heavy white twine brown yarn
Directions
Cut slits ½ inch apart across the top and bottom of the cardboard. Wind the white twine around and around the cardboard, fitted in the slits. Use the paperc lip for a shuttle, bending the sharp end so it won’t catch on the twine. Tie a long piece of the brown yarn to the paperclip and weave it, going over one string, unde r the next, all the way around the cardboard (back and fr ont) until about 1 ½ inch from the top. Cut the twine i n the slits at the top, and tie one cut end to the one next to it. Remove the woven piece from the cardboard, turning it inside out. You now have a pouch. You can add a strap for the shoulder. See how inventive you can be about finding objects that will work for arrows. You can decorate the quiver with moons cut from foil or in any other way you would like.

Daphne and Apollo
A Retelling Long ago in a green and peaceful wood there lived a nymph named Daphne. Nymphs are the spirits of water and trees. Daphne was the daughter of the river god, Peneus, and she was as happy and free as the wind that blew through the forest where she lived. She loved her freedom more than life itself and spent the long summer days hunting with her bow and arrows, or gathering nuts and berries, or simply watching the pattern of the leaves against a clear blue sky. This carefree existence filled her with joy, and she wanted only to spend her time in this way. “Please, Father, “ she begged the river god. “You must promise me that you will never make me marry. Please let me live all my life just as I am today.” Her father was not really happy about this because he wanted grandchildren. Besides, he thought that any proper girl should one day become a wife. But she pleaded with him so often and so pitifully that he promised, at last. Perhaps she would have spent her whole existence just like this if Apollo and Cupid had not been having another of their arguments. Cupid had been using Apollo’s python-killing bow, and Apollo was angry. “You’re not strong enough to use my weapon,” he raged. “Oh, Apollo, how wrong you are! Your weapon may be great, but my arrows are more deadly!” And in the end, Apollo was wounded by a silver arrow from Cupid’s quiver just as the maiden Daphne passed by. Apollo fell in love at once. Cupid loosed another arrow at the girl, this one tipped in lead. She turned to see the handsome Apollo approaching, and her heart was filled with fear and loathing. “Good morning, you beautiful thing, you,” Apollo called to the nymph. Daphne was a pretty young lady, but she wasn’t very neat. Her hair hung loose about her shoulders, and she wore a short ragged dress. She was surprised that he would call her beautiful, but she was also frightened. She turned and started to run. “Wait, don’t go! I won’t hurt you,” Apollo called, but Daphne only ran faster. “Perhaps you don’t recognize me,” Apollo shouted as he started to run after her. “I am the god, Apollo, and I love you! Wait!” Still Daphne ran. Although she was used to racing through the woods after animals, she was no match for the god. With his powerful stride, he soon was gaining on her. She put everything she had into a burst of speed that made her breath come like sharp daggers in her side, and her heart beat like a drum. “Lovely maiden, please stop!” Apollo pleaded.

Daphne and Apollo: A Retelling (continued) Looking back, she could see him close at her heels. She was out of breath, and her knees felt weak and rubbery from fear. She saw the river ahead, and she began to shout. “Father! Father! Please save me!” At once she felt a strange thing happening. Her feet and legs became stiff, and she felt a tingling sensation in her fingers. With a last backward look at her pursuer, she paused, and rootlets from her feet dug into the ground, and a crown of silvery leaves suddenly grew from her head and arms. Daphne, fleeing the god Apollo, had changed into a tree. Apollo stopped short. Where the maiden had stood but a moment ago now stood a laurel tree. He felt pain in his heart, for he really loved her. “Oh, Daphne,” he cried. “I am so sorry. But you will always be my tree. Your leaves will make a crown for me, and I will protect you always.” The slender tree bowed in the breeze and seemed to forgive the god who had thoughtlessly caused an end to her carefree life. Since that time, the leaves from the laurel tree have always been used as a symbol of victory or to crown a young hero. Joette McDonald Vermilion, OH

Musical Mythology
Apollo and Daphne (Tune: You Are My Sunshine)
“You are my girlfriend, my only girlfriend,” He said to Daphne, one sunny day. “Oh well, Apollo, you lovely fellow,
I’m inclined to run away.”
“Oh lovely Daphne, my darling Daphne, Don’t run so quickly, don’t run so far.”
“Oh well, Apollo, you lovely fellow, I can’t bear to be where you are.”
Ad so poor Daphne, with all her running
Became exhausted, and couldn’t flee. “Oh father River, will you please save me?”
And he made her a laurel tree.
