How about the influences that are still visible in modern society, such as the names of the months, the alphabet, public roads, democracy and such.

Compare and Contrast Roman against Greek Gods, as in Zeus and Jupiter.

Zeus/Juputier, the God of gods and men. You'll easily find information about them online, compared to the others. Perhaps write about Zeus becoming King of the gods in mythology.

Why not write in on Athena? She's the goddess that Athens is named for. She sprung, fully formed, from Zeus's head. So, in a way, she was born of Immaculate Conception. She was also chaste, the rare Greek goddess who stayed a virgin and never married. She is the patroness of education, civilization, and maybe even sentience.

pick a god that was involved in something you like. There is Aphrodite the goddess of love and beauty
Poseidon- the God of the Sea
Hades- the God of the dead
Athena- the God of war
Achilles- who's only weakness was his ankle in a fight.. it could corrolate this one with the fact that whether God or human everyone has a weak spot

A paper on the Incestual relationship between Zeus and his SISTER Hera would be a very interesting topic.

Why don't you compare a god and goddess with a similar 'function'? Like Aphrodite and Eros?

Hades is pretty sweet. I'm doing a project on him right now, and it's easy to find information on him.

How about going into how myths were used to explain everyday life?
