Greek Myth
I. Myth
A myth is an ancient anonymous story, usually about gods
and heroes. Myths originally explained some aspect of
nature or accounted for some human action. In other
words, most myths grew out of particular historical event.
They show us the imagination at work, creating literature
out of the events of the real world.
Story of King
Midas
II. Metamorphosis
A metamorphosis is a change in shape or form, and it
occurs frequently in Greek myths. It is one of the
elements that make the myths such imaginative
reading. Some of the gods, like the sea god Proteus,
for example frequently changed themselves into
different shapes, such as a fish, a lion, or a snake.
The Love Story of
Pyramus and
Thisbe
“Pyramus was the most handsome of
young men and Thisbe was the fairest
beauty of the East.”
~Ovid in Metamorphoses
