The Golden Fleece Competition is a great way to make ancient Greece come alive in your classroom. This year’s competition asks young Victorians to use any visual art medium to create their own take on an ancient Greek monster.
Here are some of the ways that the Golden Fleece Competition connects to the Victorian Curriculum, specifically History, English, and Visual Arts. For ways to use the Golden Fleece Competition in your classroom, head to our Classroom Connections resources.
