Costumes and attributes: tunics, for Apollo - a harp, on the shoulders of Artemis a cape imitating the skin of a wild animal, in her hands - a hunting horn or spear, for Aphrodite - a rod entwined with flowers.
Equipment: slides or photographs with images of Greek and Roman gods.
The spectators are divided into teams.
The participating teams practice two dramatizations based on the proposed excerpts from the legends of Ancient Greece - “Narcissus” and “The Judgment of Paris”.
The melody of “Sirtaki” is heard, dancing boys and girls dressed in tunics and sandals appear. For some time they move around the stage to the rhythm of the dance. Then the music stops.
Dancers/choir) Oh, glory, Greece and ancient Athens! We call Apollo and Artemis! (They run away.)
Apollo and Artemis appear.
Apollo. The Greek dance “Sirtaki” was performed.
Artemis. Our dancers ran away.
Apollo. So, it’s time for us to greet our guests.
Art em i d a Good afternoon! Happy hour. What are you doing now? Drop everything you're doing. Join quickly!
Apollo. Hello, dear viewers and participants of our competitions today.
Artemis. We are the hosts of this evening. I am Artemis, Greek goddess of the hunt. And this is my brother named Apollo. He is the Greek god of arrows, the patron of talented musicians and singers.
Apollo. People who are interested in literature, art and the history of our culture simply need to take a closer look at Greek mythology. Because starting from the Renaissance, writers, artists and sculptors began to widely draw motifs for their plots from the tales and legends of Ancient Greece. Greek mythology also penetrated into Russian literature. Remember the poems of A.S. Pushkin and V.A. Zhukovsky, M.Yu. Lermontov and F.I. Tyutchev, fables by I.A. Krylova.
Artemis. The ancient Greeks were an active, energetic people who were not afraid to explore the world. They put their knowledge into form fairy tale- myth. The myths of Ancient Greece formed the basis of universal human culture, and their images deeply penetrated the thoughts of modern man.
Apollo. Indeed, it is still powerful. a strong man is called Hercules, a brave, determined woman is called an Amazon, and a beauty is called Aphrodite. But all these names are Greek.
Artemis. You and I use many expressions without even knowing that their roots go back to the images of Greek mythology. For example, the expression “panic fear” comes from the name of the god Pan, who had a very bizarre appearance that could frighten. Have you heard the phrase “Homeric laughter”? This expression came to us from the works of the ancient Greek classic Homer. In his opinion, it was with such thunderous uncontrollable laughter that the gods laughed at the top of the legendary Mount Olympus.
Apollo. But Greek mythology is interconnected with Roman mythology.
Artemis. How can that be? After all, Roman mythology originated from Greek.
Apollo. Absolutely right. The Romans do not have original stories about the gods, they do not have such beautiful legends. But when Rome adopted Greek mythology, it still did humanity a great service. That's the problem. Most of the brilliant works of Greek sculptors have survived to this day in Roman copies. And if our contemporaries can now judge the wonderful art of the Greeks, then we must thank the Romans for this.
Artemis. So, I see that today our guys have already split into two teams to participate in the competition.
Apollo. Then I will hold the first competition. Questions will be asked to each team in turn.
- Remember the name of the warrior who became invulnerable because in early childhood his mother dipped him in the magical water of the river, which bestowed invulnerability. (Achilles, or Achilles.)
- But as we remember, the invincible Achilles was still killed. Why was he able to defeat him? And what saying was born as a result of this legend? (A poisoned arrow hit him in the heel - the only place that was not washed with magic water. This is where the saying “Achilles heel” came from, that is, a vulnerable spot.) The Trojan War lasted 10 years. And who can remember the cunning maneuver of Odysseus, which led to his army winning this war? (The making of the Trojan horse, which housed Greek soldiers. The Trojans thought that the Greeks had retreated and brought the beautiful horse into the territory of Troy. At night, the Greeks got out of the horse and captured the city.)
- What was the name of the shirt, consisting of many metal rings fastened together? This shirt was invented in Ancient Assyria. It was also worn by Russian heroes in the 10th century. And now it can only be seen in museums, (Chain mail.)
- Surely many people know the saying “with a shield or on a shield.” So in one of the Greek cities they gave farewell to soldiers, escorting them to battle. It meant - either return with a shield - with victory, or on the shield, that is, dead. Name this ancient city. (Sparta.)
- The ancient Greek philosopher Democritus wrote: “...There is not one, but many universes in the world.” One of the commanders of Greece read this phrase and was very upset: “But I haven’t conquered this one yet!” Name this desperate commander. (Alexander the Great.)
- Remember another name that the people awarded to Alexander the Great for his military conquests. (Alexander the Great.)
- The Greeks were great sailors. Remember; how many ways of fighting in water on ships existed in ancient times.(Three. The first was sailing, when the ship sailed so close to the enemy’s ship that it broke the last oar. The second was ramming, when one ship seemed to sail through another, breaking the enemy’s ship with its bow. The third was boarding. In this case, the enemy ship was pulled directly overboard with special fastenings and special bridges were installed between the two ships.)
- Many people have seen very long distance running competitions on TV. What are these competitions called? They are named after the Greek city. (Marathon.)
- Try to remember in honor of which military victory in 490 BC the competition distance was set - 42 km 195 meters.(Greek and Persian troops fought near the city of Marathon. The battle ended in victory for the Greeks. The fastest messenger was sent to Athens with a message of victory. He ran exactly 42 km 195 meters and shouted to the residents of Athens: “Rejoice, Greeks, we won!” After which he fell and died from exhaustion and fatigue.)
Artemis. Well done our guys. Only to the last question I want to give a small clarification. The Greek marathon distance was 42 km. And the remaining 195 meters were joined to the general route only in late XIX century at the request of the kings of England. Then they were holding a marathon race, and at the request of the royals, the route was extended so that the finish line was just opposite the royal stand. The teams will give the answer to the next task in writing. Here's a piece of paper for you each. (Hands out sheets of paper to the teams.) You should write on them the names of the gods of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. Which team will remember the most of them? For ease of comparison, I ask you to write the names in a column and number them. Then, when making a comparison, it will be immediately clear who remembered how many names. (Teams complete the task.)
Apollo. Artemis, my sister, while the teams are working on a written answer, I think that for our viewers we will show the sketch “The Misogynist Sculptor.”
Artemis. We invite our actors to the stage. So, with the power of your imagination, we will now be transported to the workshop of a Greek sculptor.
Apollo and Artemis step aside. The Singer and Pygmalion appear.
Singer (declaims pathetically) Oh, golden-haired Aphrodite! You give happiness to those who believe in you and who serve you! I will tell you an ode about how on the beautiful Greek island of Cyprus, a talented sculptor lived with the name Pygmalion. His main quality was that he hated women.
Pygmalion (confidently) Oh, women, they are the devil! It’s a joy for me to live freely without women! I only see the meaning of life in art!
Singer (to the audience, sarcastically) And just go and marvel at this phrase!
(To Pygmalion.) Take a piece of marble, take a hammer,
Yes, sculpt, to your glory, children playing in the oak grove,
Or a deity frozen in languor, or a calf on straw.
Pygmalion Eh, no! After all, I subordinate my mood to creativity, and therefore I will sculpture a beauty from stone.
Singer If a calf is not good for you, then sculpt a beautiful maiden.
Pygmalion You seem to read all my thoughts. What I will do, you will now find out.
To the accompaniment of solemn music, Pygmalion makes expressive movements, imitating chopping a piece of marble. Then the light goes out for a moment. When it lights up, a statue appears in front of the sculptor, covered with a sheet. Pygmalion solemnly pulls off the sheet, under which a beautiful girl - a statue - is hidden. The singer gasps with delight.
Singer (enthusiastically) What lines and delicate work, And he said that something makes women sick! Pygmalion But what’s wrong with me, happiness or not, Before the beauty of the statue the white light fades. And I'm in love, I'm conquered...
Singer. What is he muttering there?
Pygmalion Damn me, I am Pygmalion,
If you are not in love with this statue with all your heart!
And I throw myself on my knees before the stone,
And I lightly touch the marble feet,
And I will buy expensive necklaces for her,
Bracelets, tiaras, other stones!
The singer brings decorations. Pygmalion adorns the statue.
Singer. Did you dress her in luxurious clothes?
Pygmalion But she is as cold as marble, everything is as before! What to do? I'm completely burning with love! I would give anything if only she were alive.
Singer I can give you good advice. She can easily become alive, Just go to the altar in the temple and ask Aphrodite about it!
Pygmalion. Aphrodite?
Singer Yes, this golden-haired, beautiful goddess, Who gives love to everyone. Go and pray to the shrine.
Aphrodite appears. In her hands is a magic wand covered with flowers. The singer and Pygmalion kneel before her.
Aphrodite What do I hear! The misogynist himself, who cursed women, who drove away love, called me to awaken a dead stone with love! (Orders them to rise with a gesture.) Pygmalion I pray, help, it’s difficult for me to continue living. Either help or kill: death will seem to me
Aphrodite (walks around the statue, examines it) Do you dream that this heart will beat, You want those eyes to come to life...
Pygmalion Then love could flare up, Well, for now my only tears are rolling... (He covers his face with his hands, his shoulders tremble.)
Aphrodite Your love is your curse, Did you think that it wouldn’t burn you? So let this maiden in a white dress come to life before us now! (Waves his magic wand.)
Solemn music sounds. The statue comes to life.
Pygmalion Oh happiness, my sculpture has come to life! Her face, her clothes and figure! What hands she has, what a neck! What is your name?
Statue. Galatea.
Aphrodite waves her staff one last time and leaves. Pigma-lion offers his hand to Galatea. Pygmalion and Galatea, holding hands and not taking their admiring eyes off each other, follow Aphrodite.
Singer (to the audience) Maybe the wedding will go smoothly! Long live the goddess Aphrodite! What happened to the misogynist then? He became a loving husband and father. Love women, they are the whole essence of life, After all, both the tramp and the king know this. (Bows and leaves.)
Apollo and Artemis reappear.
Apollo. This is such a very adult story.
Artemis. And the moral in it is this: one cannot refuse what is destined for each of the mortals by fate.
Apollo. And now I propose to sum up the results of the second competition.
Artemis and Apollo collect pieces of paper from the teams and read out loud the names of the Greek and Roman gods.
Artemis. The best team in this competition was...(names the team). And the total score for the two competitions... (names the results of the two competitions).
Apollo. And again the competition. I ask the teams to strain their memory, remember the legends of Ancient Greece and answer the following questions. (Asks questions.)
- The gods living on Mount Olympus were famous for their even character. They almost never showed excitement, and could hide their anger or anxiety well. What expression, which clearly came to us from Ancient Greece, do we now call a person’s ability to maintain mental balance? (Olympic calm.)
- What were the names of the magical creatures of myth that were half horses and half people? (Ken-taurs.)
- Remember the name of the monster with the body of a man and the head of a bull that lived in the labyrinth? (Minotaur.)
- Ariadne helped her lover Theseus defeat the evil Minotaur. In addition, the hero did not get lost in the labyrinth, but found a way out of it. In other words, how did Ariadne help him? Now this expression is commonly used to describe helping a person in a difficult situation. (“Ariadne’s thread.”)
- What was the name of the woman who had snakes on her head instead of hair? She had the gift of turning people to stone with just her gaze. (Medusa Gorgon.)
- What was the name of the main temple of Athena? (Parthenon.)
- What was the name of the woman who had snakes on her head instead of hair? She had the gift of turning people to stone with just her gaze. (Medusa Gorgon.)
- Who are the Hecatoncheires? (Hundred-armed and fifty-headed giants, no one could resist their strength.)
- What caused it to start Trojan War? (The abduction of the beautiful Helen.)
- Remember the Argonaut travelers, led by the brave Jason. What were they supposed to bring from Colchis to Greece? (Golden Fleece.)
10. Name the number of labors that Hercules performed. (Twelve.)
Artemis. Our team won this competition...(names the team).
Apollo. Now I think it's time to hold a homework competition for our teams. They had to prepare dramatizations based on the plots of ancient Greek myths.
Artemis. Are you ready, guys?
Spectators. Yes!
Artemis. Then I ask the performers to get up on stage. The first team shows the performance. Her dramatization is called “Narcissus”. Apollo strikes the strings of the harp. Artemis and Apollo step aside. The participants in the scene come out: Narcissus and the nymph Echo.
Narcissus. It’s good for me, handsome Narcissus, to walk through this forest.
Echo. Through the forest!
Narcissus. Who is there?
Echo. Here!
Narcissus. Oh... Apparently you are a forest nymph?
Echo (agrees). Forest nymph.
Narcissus. No, I don't want to talk to you. Get away from me!
Echo (sorrowfully). Away?
Narcissus. You answer me like an echo. What's your name, nim-fa-echo?
Narcissus. I heard that the great goddess Hera sent a punishment on you, that you cannot speak, as ordinary people and gods do, but can only repeat the last words.
Echo (nods). Last words.
Narcissus. Why are you following me? Are you really not in love with me?
Echo (sighs heavily, stretches out her hands to Narcissus). In love.
Narcissus. You don't deserve me!
Echo. Worthy, worthy!
Narcissus laughs. Echo covers her face with her hands and runs away. Aphrodite appears.
Aphrodite. Do you not accept my great gift, which is called love? I, Aphrodite, goddess of love and eternal youth, send punishment upon you. The one you see first this evening, you will love very much. (Ear.)
Narcissus. Here is a lovely pond, I’ll look into its water to see if my golden curls are disheveled, if the gentle blush has faded from my cheeks. (Looks into an imaginary pond.) Oh, how good I am! I have never seen anything better in my life! And let me disappear, but more than anyone in the world I love myself... What’s wrong with me, I’m dying... That’s how Aphrodite punished me. (Leaves.)
Echo comes out crying. Aphrodite follows her.
Aphrodite. Are you crying because Narcissus didn't love you?
Echo. Didn't like it.
Aphrodite. In memory of him, a flower, white and delicate, grew near the pond. And it has a name - narcissus. Echo. Narcissus.
Aphrodite. This flower will remind us of a proud, handsome and very insensitive young man. And the narcissus will be considered the flower of death.
Echo and Aphrodite leave. Apollo and Artemis appear again.
Artemis. By the way, not only the name of the flower came from the name of this hero, but also the psychological term “narcissism,” meaning excessive, even painful narcissism and callousness towards others.
Apollo. If someone looks in the mirror too often and constantly talks about his own indescribable beauty, he probably suffers from narcissism. Apollo (strikes the harp again). Great. And now the second team continues the competition. And her sketch is called “The Judgment of Paris.” (They leave.) ■у/"
Athena, Aphrodite and Hera appear. They carry the “golden apple”.
Hera. The goddess of discord Eris appeared to us, three powerful goddesses.
Athena. She threw us a golden apple!
Aphrodite. And on the apple is the inscription “To the Most Beautiful”!
G e r a. I believe that this apple belongs to me. After all, I am Hera, queen of gods and people. And I am the most beautiful.
Athena. Why is it you? I am the most beautiful of the gods. And only I am Athena, goddess of war. Who dares to argue with me?
Aphrodite. I dare to argue. This apple, without quarrel and without dispute, should belong to me. After all, I am Aphrodite, goddess of love, eternal youth and beauty
Hera. We cannot resolve this dispute ourselves. What to do?
Athena. Let's turn to the shepherd's son named Paris for help.
Aphrodite. And let him resolve our dispute, bring us to justice and give the apple to the most beautiful of us, the three goddesses.
Paris comes out.
Paris. I am Paris. Among my peers, I am distinguished by strength and agility. I just saved my friend from a pack of angry wolves!
Hera. Now help us, Paris.
Paris. Who are you? (Frightened.) I see that you are not mere mortals. You are wearing outfits made of brocade and silk, and gold jewelry. And all three of you are so beautiful that I can’t take my eyes off you!
Athena. We are goddesses from Olympus.
Aphrodite. I am Aphrodite. This is Hera and Athena. And to you, Paris, mere mortal, we hand over this apple and our destinies.
Paris. What do you want from me?
Hera. Judge our dispute.
Athena. And award this apple to the most beautiful of us.
Hera. Award the apple to me, Hera, and then I will reward you. I will award you power over many lands.
Athena. Award the apple to me, Paris. After all, I -g-goddess wars, Pallas Athena. And then I will make you a great commander, and you will have glory and world victories.
Paris. And you, golden-haired one, why are you silent?
Aphrodite. What can I say? After all, I am Aphrodite. I cannot give You power over the world or make You a general. But I will promise you the most beautiful of mortal women as a wife!
Hera and Athena laugh disdainfully at Aphrodite.
Paris. What? The most beautiful of mortal women for my wife?
Aphrodite. Yes!
Paris. And who is she?
Aphrodite. The daughter of Zeus is the beautiful Helen.
Paris. Take the apple and fulfill your promise, most beautiful of goddesses, Aphrodite! (Gives the apple to Aphrodite.)
Aphrodite rejoices, Hera and Athena clutch their heads with their hands, suffering. The participants in the second scene leave. Reappeared are^ Apollo and Artemis.
Apollo. It is necessary to evaluate the theatrical skills of our performers. They give marks to the teams and announce the winner of this competition.
The music of the Sirtaki dance sounds again.
Artemis. What is this noise? It seems to me that our dancers are returning.
Dancers appear - boys and girls. They chat happily and invite you to dance with them.
Apollo. I invite our players to join them. Whose team dances better will receive two extra points.
Guys are selected from the teams who are ready to dance “Sirtaki”. At the end of the competition, Apollo rewards both teams for their courage and diligence.
Artemis. And now it’s time for us to sum up.
Apollo. Both teams were good and showed a high knowledge of the myths of Ancient Greece. But our team became the winner...(names the team).
Artemis. Congratulations to all participants on their victory. (Gives a prize.

Ancient Greece has the honor of creating most of the myths and legends. Until now, the mythology of the Greeks amazes with its colorfulness and diversity. The Greeks created their gods in the image and likeness of people, endowing them with indispensable and enduring beauty and immortality. The deities were humanized to such an extent that they possessed the same qualities and emotions as the people whose destinies they controlled: they were at the same time generous and vengeful, kind and cruel, amorous and jealous, their fate was also dependent on the lot of Moira, like people's lives depended on the Olympian gods.
