Aphrodite
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphrodite
I started my Wikipedia trail with Aphrodite. Aphrodite is an ancient Greek goddess associated with love, beauty, pleasure, passion, and procreation. She is one of the most famous Greek goddesses and I always enjoy stories that have her in them. Aphrodite is very complex and I think that is why she is so intriguing.

Hi, Madee!
ReplyDeleteI haven't done a Wikipedia Trail yet so it was interesting to see where you're trail took you and how the assignment works. I love how the first three pages you visited all sort of fit together, but then all of a sudden you landed on the Wikipedia page for dolphins. After reading your comments about the page, though, the connection makes a lot more sense. I think I might have to try a Wikipedia Trails extra credit assignment before the class is over!
