Greek Myths Starter Kit
Meet Perseus, Athena, and the Minotaur. Includes a "Mount Olympus family tree" poster, hero's-journey story map, and a design-your-own-constellation project.
Little Lyceum turns the classics — Greek myths, Aesop, King Arthur, The Velveteen Rabbit — into guided adventures your child can actually finish, understand, and love. Printable guides and self-paced courses your family can start tonight.
Designed by a pediatrician and lifelong reader. No screens required — every kit prints beautifully.
Every path uses the same method: short readings, big questions, and hands-on activities that make old stories feel brand new.
Instant-download PDF bundles: a family read-aloud guide, discussion questions, vocabulary treasure hunts, copywork pages, and a completion certificate. Print once, use with every child.
Four-week guided journeys through a single classic, with a weekly reading plan, narration prompts, and creative projects — perfect alongside school or homeschool.
Not sure where to start? Grab our free "Three Greek Myths in Three Evenings" guide — three kid-friendly retellings and one great dinner-table question per night. Try the Lyceum way before you buy.
Each kit stands alone — start anywhere. All readings are abridged or excerpted for ages 8–10, with full-text extensions for eager readers.
Meet Perseus, Athena, and the Minotaur. Includes a "Mount Olympus family tree" poster, hero's-journey story map, and a design-your-own-constellation project.
Romulus and Remus, Horatius at the bridge, and a gentle first taste of Latin: 40 root words kids will meet again in every book they ever read.
A tender first "real classic" for younger or reluctant readers. Discussion cards on what makes things Real, plus a keepsake stuffed-friend interview activity.
Twelve fables, twelve big ideas. Kids retell each fable in their own words, then write and illustrate an original fable with its own moral.
Excalibur, chivalry, and quests. Includes a "knight's code" your child writes for themselves and a castle-siege logic puzzle set.
Wordplay, riddles, and nonsense poetry. Kids learn how authors bend language — then host their own Mad Tea Party discussion (recipe cards included).
"Three Greek Myths in Three Evenings" — a 13-page printable with kid-friendly retellings, one great question per night, and a bookmark your child colors as they go.
Instant download — includes the printable PDF and a Kindle-ready ebook edition.
New kits and courses are added every month. Members get everything, forever, for less than the price of one hardcover a month.
"My 9-year-old retold the whole Perseus story at dinner — with voices. He's never done that with anything from school."
"The kits are genuinely open-and-go. I print Sunday night and we're set for the week. The parent cheat-sheets save me every time."
"My reluctant reader asked when the next kit arrives. Asked. Voluntarily. I nearly fell over."
Our sweet spot is ages 8–10, but strong 7-year-old readers and 11-year-olds who love a good story fit right in. Each kit notes an ideal range, and read-aloud versions let younger siblings join.
Reluctant readers are exactly who Little Lyceum was built for. Readings are short, the stories are genuinely exciting (monsters, quests, magic), and activities let kids respond by drawing, acting, and talking — not just writing. Start with The Velveteen Rabbit or Greek Myths.
Not at all. Every kit includes a parent cheat-sheet with story background, pronunciation help, and suggested answers to discussion questions. You learn alongside your child — many parents tell us that's their favorite part.
The kits are literature-focused and work in secular, Charlotte Mason, classical, and faith-based homes alike. We present myths as great stories and discuss the virtues and questions inside them.
Your purchase covers unlimited printing for the children in your own household or classroom. Please don't forward the files — but do tell a friend, and they can grab the free guide to try us out.
