HUM 10159A0 CU The Imperium Pantheon Writing Exercise

HUM10159A0 World MythologyPantheon Creation
Instructions
This semester, the assessments will be about creating your own mythologies, and the first place we will start is
with the creation of your own pantheon.
Using the attached documents and links as examples, you are going to create your own pantheon for your
mythologies. Write one paragraph per god, addressing the following criteria:
For your mythologies, you must have the following 5 deities (but you are allowed to create as many as you like).
These are the 5 that you need to create:
•
•
•
•
•
King/Queen of the gods
God/Goddess of the Afterlife (could be of the underworld, heaven, dead, etc).
God/Goddess of War
God/Goddess of the Water (can be freshwater or salt, seas or rivers)
God/Goddess of Knowledge.
You need to name your deities as well as explain what their powers are and if they control any elements. Your
gods/goddesses must also have at least 2 symbols (see the attachments), at least 1 weapon, and an animal
companion/familiar. Also, explain their personality (i.e. Zeus was a serial cheater) and their relationship (are they
enemies? family?) with your other gods.
You will be using these gods in later assessments.
Please make sure to follow the MLA formatting style (heading, double-spacing, etc).
