Introduction

MYTHO: Game of the Gods is an engaging online multiplayer strategy game that brings ancient Greek mythology to life. MYTHO combines the excitement of collecting heroes from Greek myths with chess-like strategic thinking.

This page is designed to help educators understand how MYTHO can be a valuable teaching tool in and out of the classroom.

Educational Benefits

1. Mythology Learning - MYTHO offers a unique opportunity for students to immerse themselves in Greek mythology. By collecting and playing as legendary heroes like Zeus, Achilles, or Athena, players can learn about their stories, abilities, and roles in ancient myths.
2. Strategic Thinking - The game encourages players to think critically and strategically. Just like in chess, players must plan their moves carefully, considering each hero's abilities, positioning, and the evolving game board. MYTHO promotes problem-solving and decision-making skills.
3. Social Interaction - Collaboration through "leagues" and competition drive MYTHO players to improve their skills. Players can team up or face off against one another to improve EXP, ELO, and REP, fostering social interaction and communication skills, and providing teaching opportunities about good sportsmanship.

How to Use MYTHO

1. In-Class Activities - Integrate MYTHO into classroom activities, such as discussions, essays, or presentations about Greek mythology. Encourage students to research the heroes they play, helping them connect gameplay with educational content. Explore MYTHO's printable cards as a hands-on crafting project to learn about the heroes of Greek mythology.
2. After-School Clubs - Start a MYTHO club where students can come together to play, strategize, and discuss the myth and strategies behind the game. Students can organize tournaments or league matches amongst their classmates, working together to improve their skills.
