A Greek Myth Theseus and Hydra Re-imagined Powerpoint Whilst studying Greek myths with Year 5, their task was to write their own version of a Greek myth, using a hero and a monster of their choice. Working with a small group, I created my own Greek myth with the characters of Theseus and the monster Hydra to use as an example of how a myth could be re-imagined – modelling some of the descriptive language and grammatical features and structure that they could use in their own story.
