What is wrong with this sentence? Word is telling me that is it is a fragment. I can not figure out for the likes of me how to fix it.
The Greeks using clay and the Norse using trees. |

OK so here is how I have it now. I added the sentence before it as well.
In both Greek and Norse mythology humans; where both made from natural sources. With the Greeks using clay and the Norse using trees. |

It is a sentence fragment. There is no verb.

Word doesn't always get it right, I wouldn't worry about it.
"Sentence fragment" is also a sentence fragment

Try this:
In both Norse and Greek mythologies, human figures were made from natural sources. The Norse used trees and the Greeks used clay. |

OK so here is how I have it now. I added the sentence before it as well. In both Greek and Norse mythology humans; where both made from natural sources. With the Greeks using clay and the Norse using trees. It should read: In both Greek and Norse mythology human (alters, statues) were made from natural sources, with the Greek's using clay and the Norse using trees. You were missing the subject of the sentence, and you should use a comma not a period between the two thoughs as they don't stand alone, they need each other to make sense. |

I don't think the Greeks or the Norse people were made from clay and trees.... but we weren't around then, so maybe I'm wrong here...

With the Greeks using clay and the Norse using trees. I would not have placed (;) after the word humans. Maybe your sentence should be written thus " In both Greek and Norse mythology, humans were made from natural sources, the Greeks used clay and the Norse used trees" Without meaning to be cruel, the sentence seems pretty vague. |
