2 Gallery Activity Sheets for Room 69 How to use these activity sheets These sheets are aimed at introducing some of the cases in the gallery and give a brief insight into war and peace in ancient Greece, through the eyes of the poet Homer. We provide below some basic information about the Iliad which may be useful to you in designing activities for use in class and links with Literacy Hour (Year 5, Term 2). 1.Please do not use all five sheets as a trail. We suggest that you give each of your groups two or three of the cases to focus on. 2.Please encourage adult leaders to read the extracts to the children. Allow the children time to discuss other objects in the cases with their adult leader, to experience awe and wonder at the artefacts and to look at and record things which are of interest to them. 2
3 The Iliad All the quotes on the sheets are from the Iliad. The Iliad is a long narrative poem in which Homer, the ancient Greek poet, tells part of the story of the Trojan War. Homer probably lived in the eighth or seventh century BC, but the Iliad is set in the Greek Bronze Age four or five hundred years earlier. Scenes from the Trojan War can be seen on many Greek pots of the sixth and fifth centuries BC. It was regarding the Iliad which inspired Heinrich Schliemann to try to find the real city of Troy and Mycenae, the home of the Greek king Agamemnon. You could follow up study of the story of the Trojan War by asking children to do research on Schliemann and his discoveries. Although the Iliad is about war, amidst the scenes of violence, cruelty and death, Homer gives us glimpses of peace and calm. Through contrast he reminds us of the horror of war and that peace is the normal and best condition for people. 3
4 Go to Case 26 and read this: The Greek hero Patroklos kills a Trojan: Patroklos s spear struck him just below the heart. Just like and oak tree of a poplar or a lofty pine which men have cut down in the hills with their sharp axes to make the planks for a ship, so he fell to the earth. In case 26, you will find a drinking cup showing this man smoothing a plank of wood with an adze: Find the large clay slab, nearby. This shows the building of a ship. The goddess Athena is helping. You can recognise her from her helmet. Tick the following when you find them: Athena s shield a man using a hammer and chisel the sail of the ship a rope around the ship to strengthen the hull Athena s owl keeping an eye on the work 4
5 Go to Case 15 and read this: The god Hephaistos decorates a new shield for the Greek hero Achilles: He showed the fields of a king, where the workers were hard at work with sharp sickles in their hands. Some of the golden corn still lay where it had fallen, but the workers had tied some of it up in bundles. The king stood nearby, smiling in satisfaction at the richness of his land. In case 15, you will find a curved bronze sickle. Greek farm workers used tools like this to cut the corn. Nearby is a large pot which may have been used to contain olive oil. It shows men gathering olives. Look at the pot carefully. Now look at the drawing. Can you spot the differences? There are 10 all together. 5
6 Go to case 16 and read this: The Trojan hero Hektor says goodbye to his family before going out to battle. Glorious Hektor held out his arms to take his young son. But the baby shrank back crying. He was terrified by the gleaming bronze of the helmet and by the crest of horsehair nodding grimly on top. His father and mother shared a smile. Hektor took off his helmet and placed it on the ground. Then he took his baby boy into his arms and kissed him. Look at this drawing of a Greek warrior. Label the objects on the drawing which you can actually see in case 16. You may only be able to find parts of some of them! Which parts of which objects have disappeared? Why do you think these parts have not survived? 6
7 Go to Case 5 and read this: The Trojan queen Hekabe selects a gift for the goddess Athena. She went into the palace and down to the sweetly scented storeroom where she kept her dresses. Her son Paris had brought these for her from Phoenicia when he had returned with the beautiful Helen. Hekabe picked out the longest and most finely decorated dress as a gift for Athene. It glittered like a star. The drawings below show two women preparing wool for spinning and another woman spinning wool into thread. Look for the actual objects in the case and tick the label boxes when you find them. 7
8 Read this: The Greeks and Trojans struggle to capture the dead body of the Greek hero Patroklos: They tugged the body to and fro between them like the men whom the tanner tells to stretch the hide of a great bull. They take the hide and stand round in a ring and tug at it until it is tight all over and the moisture oozes out. Look all around this room. See if you can find any objects made of leather. Record these in the left-hand box. How did you do? Now look around again, but this time look closely at the pictures on three or four pots. In the pictures try to find objects and parts of objects which were probably made of leather. Write these in the right-hand box. How did you do this time? Objects made of leather Objects in pictures whish were probably made of leather Why do you think there is such a difference between the number of objects in each box? 8

11 Checklist of ancient Greek weapons and armour and scenes of warfare Please note: Not all scenes of warfare on Greek pots are listed here there are many examples throughout the collections and it would be a good idea to encourage students to scan objects and then focus on specific examples they find. You could ask different groups to focus on different types of equipment or on designs on shields. Scenes listed there depict specific features. Room 12 Cases 7 and 8: Mycenaean spears, swords, arrow heads, dagger, spear butt. There are scenes of warriors on some of the pots, but they are not easy to make out.
