GCSE Classical Civilisation Myth and Religion: Heracles, the Universal Hero (part 3)-Metopes/Olympia

Heracles – the (Greek) Universal Hero

A video for my secondary school class, to help them with their Remote Learning. This section covers 7-12 of Heracles' labours, and the metopes from the Temple of Zeus at Olympia, and the links between heracles and Olympia

Although this is really just for them, please feel free to use it if you are a teacher/student of GCSE Classics.

Note: I don’t own all the images in this presentation, which mostly come from the Bloomsbury Textbook / the internet, but this is an educational video so please don't @ me about them. I do however own all the GreekMythComix images, and you can see more of them at greekmythcomix.com. I also took all the pictures form the museum at Olympia. They're not great, but they're mine.
