We rewrote and then performed Aristophane's comedy "Peace" and an original play based on the Trojan War by the 4-6th graders of the Village School. The 1- 3 graders appeared in a cameo as the armies of Greece and Troy. Each 4-6th student made their own lyre in music class  and mask of a greek god and greek pottery in art class and during this project had opportunities to use what they had learned to paint the set, create props and scenery. 
George Bennet is a fearless classroom teacher. Louise Doud was an awesome music teacher and all round collaborator.  They and the amazing school community support made this a fabulous experience for us all.

This lyre (middle segment ) music, is a short rendition of one of the precious few fragments of surviving ancient Greek music! This haunting, almost dream-like fragment of melody was preserved in ancient Byzantine manuscripts.
