About
Flowers weren’t just beautiful to the ancient Greeks—they were filled with meaning and myth. The anemone plant was said to spring from the tears of Aphrodite, the narcissus flower tells the story of a young man who fell in love with his own reflection, and the cypress tree is closely tied to Artemis, the goddess of the hunt and the moon. In honor of Mother’s Day, explore the floral myths connected to Greek goddesses and heroes and make a myth-inspired paper flower arrangement or wearable flower craft to give to someone special. Sunday FUNday is a free drop-in program for all families and includes admission to the museum. Supplies available on a first come, first served basis. © Bruce M. White, 2014.
