Default Is Greek Myth TM guide only an answer guide?

I'm wondering if the Greek TM guide is simply a reproduction of the ST but with the answers. The description says it is is a complete copy, but I'm hoping there are [I]notes[/I] in addition to the questions/answers. If there is specific teacher helps, could someone describe for me what the teacher info is?
I'm specifically looking for the info about where we find references today to the myths, how one would see virtue in these stories, what is important to know about them rather than simply who, what, where type info.

Thank you!

I am looking at my copy now for lesson 1. Here is what is included:
Facts to Learn and Recite (9 items including some gods, locations)
Vocabulary (10 words)
Comprehension Questions (5 pertaining to the section read in Greek Myths)
Oral and Picture Review (4 pages are listed from the text. Student is asked to identfy certain aspects of the pictures and draw conclusions. The last question in this final section is "Think of some modern things that have the name Titan. Why is that name used?" Answers are offered.)

All lessons follow this same format. There are Review Lessons with mapwork, summary, and fun practice activities (ie: drawing a picture of your favorite story/god and defend your choice OR look for things in the modern world that borrow the names or symbols of the Greek gods and goddesses. Make a list/add to it. There are no answers given for these.) Also, there is Vocabulary and Spelling Review.

There are appendixes in the back with lists of planets, moons, maps, pronouciation guide, and drawing pages (these are blank.)

hth. (and I hope this is ok with MP to post! Moderator can feel free to delete...)

Thank you!
I have the ST in front of me. I didn't see anything you listed that was not in my ST. It seems that the TM is a direct copy of the ST with the answers.
DOes anyone have the ST to compare to TM if there is anything other than answers that makes it a Teacher GUIDE?

I have the ST guide too. They are pretty much the same.....

I did notice a book called By Jove! and another called It's All Greek to Me (recommended in All Through the Ages) that describes English words and phrases derived from mythology and Greek and Roman classical literature respectively. They are by Michael Macrone.

I hope to find them at our library. )
