"Everything that happens to us is a displaced myth."
FRONT MATTER:
- Mr Sexson's congratulations on the excellence of the displaced myths. As a consequence, there will be no second quiz. Instead, the next two classes will be just stories, and more myths.
- Write a blog post of your displaced myth, drawing attention to all the parts that should have tipped us off to which myth it is, had we not been so dumb.
Some of the myths we heard (even if we didn't necessarily recognize them):
- The story of Esther
- Ariadne and Theseus and the Minotaur
- Odysseus and the Cyclops
- Herakles and Nessus
- Robin Hood
- Pentheus
- Prometheus
- Perseus and the Cretan Bull
- Achilles
- Orion and Scorpio
- Adam and Eve
- The Maenads and Dionysis
- Herakles and his 12 tasks
- MacBeth
- The Story of Bearskin, by the Brothers Grimm
- Dionysis and Acarius
- Daphne and Apollo
- Herakles and Dionara
- Beauty and the Beast
- Daedalus and Icarus
