Write Your Own Myth Project 50 points

Using the ideas addressed thus far in class, write a myth which explains a natural
occurrence, educates about appropriate behavior, or does both. Education myths should
focus on arete, hybris, and /or ate. If there is punishment, it should fit the crime. You
may use gods and goddesses from Greek / Roman tradition, or you may make up your
own.

This project is due on 10/16. It should be at least one typed page in length. It may be
illustrated, but the illustration will not count as part of the one full page.

Grades will be based on following the above criteria, and proper spelling, grammar, and
punctuation as well as clarity and creativity.
