The anthropomorphic gods of Olympic Games tell us a lot about Greek culture as well as about what kinds of ideas, behaviors, and character traits the Greeks valued.
For this discussion, pick one deity or Olympic Game and explain in a nicely developed paragraph what it reveals about Greek culture and its values.
Next, in a second well-developed paragraph, apply this same analysis to contemporary America. For example, select one person who is rich and famous and explain what our own culture's "worship" of this celebrity reveals about our current values and/or beliefs. Alternatively, pick some other cultural phenomenon that we Americans seem "obsessed" with and explain what this says about our contemporary culture and values.
