Teachers at the UU Church of Palo Alto did a field test in 2015, and I did a quick revision that year incorporating field test feedback. I was supposed to do a final edit the following year (2016), but that was the year my father died and I wound up dropping the project. Nevertheless, the curriculum continued in use at the Palo Alto church right up through the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This final revision retains the same stories originally curated by Tessa and me in 2014. But the following changes were made: revised the lesson plans (some quite heavily); added more illustrations; upgraded existing illustrations; rewrote the introduction; and did an overall edit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any comments on the curriculum, please leave them here or email me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"602\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.danielharper.org\/yauu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Perseus-Andromeda-and-sea-monster-602x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"A woman chained to a rack cliff, with a sea monster below her and a man hovering above her.\" class=\"wp-image-11763\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.danielharper.org\/yauu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Perseus-Andromeda-and-sea-monster-602x1024.jpeg 602w, https:\/\/www.danielharper.org\/yauu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Perseus-Andromeda-and-sea-monster-176x300.jpeg 176w, https:\/\/www.danielharper.org\/yauu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Perseus-Andromeda-and-sea-monster-768x1307.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.danielharper.org\/yauu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Perseus-Andromeda-and-sea-monster-903x1536.jpeg 903w, https:\/\/www.danielharper.org\/yauu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Perseus-Andromeda-and-sea-monster-1203x2048.jpeg 1203w, https:\/\/www.danielharper.org\/yauu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Perseus-Andromeda-and-sea-monster-1200x2042.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/www.danielharper.org\/yauu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Perseus-Andromeda-and-sea-monster-scaled.jpeg 1504w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A new illustration just added to the Greek Myths curriculum: Andromeda chained to the rock.
