De vertelstof van klas omvat de Griekse mythologie.
Wie in die klas een niet-Nederlandse taal geeft, b.v. Engels, zou af en toe aan kunnen sluiten bij de lesstof van de klas – een vorm van vakkenintegratie waar Steiner een voorstander van was.
Hier een stukje uit die mythologie dat de Engelse vrijeschoolleerkracht Roy Wilkinson voor zijn klas schreef, met hexameters:
Greek mythology appeals to children of eleven. This poem is about a Greek Titan; it is written in the style of the classical hexameter.

Hymn to Prometheus
.
Hail to Prometheus, the Titan, the helper of man and creator.
Clay was the substance he used and in likeness of gods then he shaped it.
Goodness and evil from hearts of the beasts in man’s breast he enfolded.
Fire he brought down from the realms of the skies to perfect his creation.
Movement of stars he explained to the wondering earth-dwelling people.
Numbers he taught them to use and the plants which heal sickness he showed them.
Symbols he taught them to write, representing the sounds of their speaking.
Building of ships he did teach and the training of beasts to man’s service.
Into the depths of the earth did he guide men to find precious metals.
Zeus he defied and brought fire down again when the god would deny men.
Torment and anguish he suffered for harsh was the fate decreed for him.
Bound to a cliff overhanging a sinister cleft was Prometheus.
Bravely the Titan endured and at length one arrived to release him.
