Storytelling is a part of every culture and serves several purposes. Myths aim to explain universal origins and supernatural phenomena rather than record true events. Legends contain some factual basis but include mythical elements, often reflecting a culture's spiritual beliefs. Folktales are popular stories passed down orally between generations, usually anonymously with many variations. Myths, legends, and folktales overlap and are difficult to strictly classify. They strengthen communities, provide moral guidance, entertain, educate, and enhance a storyteller's status.

Both myths and legends are passed down orally from generation to generation. The document provides examples of myths like Pandora's Box and legends like Johnny Appleseed to illustrate the definitions.

This document provides information about allegory, including its origins and definitions. It states that an allegory is a symbolic fictional narrative that conveys secondary meanings through characters, events or objects that symbolize abstract ideas. Religious allegories use symbols and stories to explore religious concepts. Examples of famous allegorical works discussed include Pilgrim's Progress, Moby Dick, and Animal Farm. Historical/political allegory refers to events and people metaphorically, while moral and social allegories aim to define morality and society through symbolic fiction.
A legend is a narrative that blends fact and fiction about people, events, places, or natural features. Legends originated from the Latin word "Legenda," meaning "things to read," and were used to describe stories about saints that were read in church services. Legends differ from myths in that myths interpret nature while legends idealize history, myths involve gods and goddesses while legends can feature animals or objects, and legends are specific to one or two localities while myths are found universally. Legends can strengthen children's faith, teach history and morality, develop imagination, and introduce culture.

This folktale teaches about the importance of honesty between friends. A crow and sparrow make a bet to see who can eat the most peppers, but the crow cheats by hiding peppers under the mat without the sparrow seeing. When the crow claims victory and says he will eat the sparrow according to their bet, the sparrow insists the crow first wash his beak since crows eat nasty things. This leads the crow on a futile quest to get water, make a pot, and dig clay, exposing the crow's dishonest nature at each attempt. Ultimately, the greedy crow is burned to ashes when fire is placed on his back, while the honest sparrow lives to a ripe old age.
For Prompt 14, I’d like us to consider how artists are often inspire.docxmecklenburgstrelitzh
For Prompt 14, I’d like us to consider how artists are often inspired by other artists. Let’s face it; at times, our creative wells can seem pretty dry. When you want to create but your ideas don’t inspire you, why not turn to other artists?
Consider the painting below. Pieter Bruegel, the Dutch master, created his
Landscape with the Fall of Icarus
in about 1560, and his subject is the Greek myth of Icarus. (If you’ll remember, Icarus and his father, Daedalus, were attempting to escape Crete by flying with wings made of wax and feathers. The boy’s father warned him not to fly too close to sun, because the heat would melt the wax wings. Of course, Icarus, in a bout of hubris, ignored his father, flew too close to the sun, and fell to his death in the ocean.) Bruegel’s version of the myth is set in his contemporary times. Check it out. Can you spot Icarus?
This painting (and others by Bruegel) inspired many artists. In the 20th century, both W.H. Auden and Williams Carlos Williams wrote poems with Bruegel's
Icarus
in mind. Here they are:
Musee des Beaux Arts
W.H. Auden
About suffering they were never wrong,
The old Masters: how well they understood
Its human position: how it takes place
While someone else is eating or opening a window or just walking dully along;
How, when the aged are reverently, passionately waiting
For the miraculous birth, there always must be
Children who did not specially want it to happen, skating
On a pond at the edge of the wood:
They never forgot
That even the dreadful martyrdom must run its course
Anyhow in a corner, some untidy spot
Where the dogs go on with their doggy life and the torturer's horse
Scratches its innocent behind on a tree.
In Breughel's Icarus, for instance: how everything turns away
Quite leisurely from the disaster; the ploughman may
Have heard the splash, the forsaken cry,
But for him it was not an important failure; the sun shone
As it had to on the white legs disappearing into the green
Water, and the expensive delicate ship that must have seen
Something amazing, a boy falling out of the sky,
Had somewhere to get to and sailed calmly on.
Landscape with the Fall of Icarus
William Carlos Williams
, 1883 - 1963
According to Brueghel
when Icarus fell
it was spring
a farmer was ploughing
his field
the whole pageantry
of the year was
awake tingling
near
the edge of the sea
concerned
with itself
sweating in the sun
that melted
the wings’ wax
unsignificantly
off the coast
there was
a splash quite unnoticed
this was
Icarus drowning
I'm amazed that both poets were looking at the same painting, but how different their poems are from each other! For Prompt 14, I'd like us all to take some time to truly observe the image below. Go beyond simply looking at the details (although they are important), and try to engage with the
feeling
of the image. What emotions was the artist George Tooker attempting to evoke? What is the tone? After clos.

[3] However, Daedalus and Icarus escaped by constructing wings out of feathers for themselves to fly away. But Icarus flew too close to the sun, his wings melted, and he drowned in the sea.
Daedalus, a skilled craftsman, built an inescapable labyrinth for King Minos but later fell out of favor and was imprisoned. To escape from Crete with his son Icarus, Daedalus fashioned wings for himself and Icarus using feathers and wax. He warned Icarus not to fly too low or high, but the excited boy disobeyed and flew too close to the sun, melting his wings. Icarus fell into the sea and drowned, while a grief-stricken Daedalus completed the journey alone.
1. The story is about Daedalus and his son Icarus who were imprisoned on the island of Crete by the king. Daedalus built wings out of feathers and wax so they could escape by flying.
2. Daedalus warned Icarus not to fly too close to the water or sun or his wings would fail. However, Icarus flew too close to the sun, melting the wax and causing him to fall into the sea and drown, ignoring his father's warnings.
3. The assignment asks the student to identify words from a phonetic transcription of the story, identify misspelled words, and practice pronouncing the sounds of English aloud.
Daedalus was a famous inventor in Greek mythology who crafted wings for himself and his son Icarus to escape from King Minos of Crete. Daedalus warned Icarus not to fly too close to the sun or sea, but Icarus ignored this advice and flew too close to the sun. The wax holding Icarus' wings together melted, and he fell into the sea and drowned. Daedalus continued on to Sicily and outwitted King Minos several times before eventually settling in Sardinia.
The document discusses Delacroix's 1827 painting "The Death of Sardanapalus" and how it served as a political commentary on the Bourbon Restoration in France at the time. Though depicting an ancient Near Eastern king, the painting subtly criticized the French monarchy through its portrayal of an effeminate Oriental monarch indulging in luxury. The sources that inspired the painting, such as writings by Diodorus and Lord Byron, are examined in relation to Delacroix's artistic interpretation. The painting faced outrage at its premiere for both its scandalous style and subject matter seen as threatening to the Bourbon regime.
Daedalus was a famous architect and inventor in Greek mythology who crafted the infamous labyrinth on the island of Crete to imprison the Minotaur. He had an apprentice named Talos or Perdix who showed great promise and ingenuity, inventing the saw and compass, which made Daedalus envious. Out of jealousy, Daedalus murdered his apprentice by throwing him off the Acropolis. As a result, Daedalus was exiled from Athens to Crete, where he continued working as a craftsman for King Minos.
In this talk at the Museum of London for the "Night Museum" series in October 2016, Dr Caroline Edwards (Birkbeck, University of London) considers the post-apocalyptic London imaginary, from H G Wells, Virginia Woolf and Doris Lessing, to the disturbing urban fantasies of contemporary writers such as China Miéville and Alan Moore.
The myth of the Flying Dutchman originates from 17th century Dutch folklore of a ghost ship doomed to sail the oceans forever. It is believed to have begun with a real Dutch ship that sank off the Cape of Good Hope in 1641. Many reported sightings of the ship occurred in the 19th and 20th centuries near the Cape of Good Hope. Explanations for sightings include optical effects like mirages that could make a real ship appear elevated in the air. The legend has inspired many cultural adaptations in art, literature, video games and amusement parks.
Daedalus was an inventor imprisoned by King Minos of Crete for helping King Minos' daughter and Theseus escape from the labyrinth. Daedalus and his son Icarus were imprisoned in a high tower. Knowing they couldn't escape by land or sea, Daedalus crafted wings from wax and feathers for himself and Icarus. He warned Icarus not to fly too close to the sun so the wax wouldn't melt. However, Icarus disobeyed and flew too close to the sun, causing his wings to melt and him to fall into the sea and drown.
Icarus was imprisoned on the island of Crete along with his father Daedalus by King Minos. To escape, Daedalus crafted wings out of wax for himself and Icarus. He warned Icarus not to fly too low over the sea or too high near the sun. However, overcome with joy at flying, Icarus ignored his father's instructions and flew too close to the sun, melting the wax in his wings and causing him to fall into the sea where he drowned.
The document summarizes information about the Bermuda Triangle, including its location between Miami, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico. It describes several notable incidents of ships and planes disappearing in the area, such as Flight 19 in 1945 and the USS Cyclops in 1918. The document also discusses various theories that have been proposed to explain the disappearances, but concludes that most were likely due to natural causes rather than supernatural phenomena.

A PPT material about the first attempts to fly and the history of aviation made by a student involved in the Comenius multilateral partnership “From Icarus to Interplanetary Travels”
Daedalus constructed wings for himself and his son Icarus so they could escape from Crete by flying over the sea. Daedalus warned Icarus not to fly too close to the sun or the sea, but Icarus ignored the warning and flew too close to the sun. The heat from the sun melted the wax holding Icarus' wings together, causing him to fall into the sea and drown. The story of Icarus' failed escape attempt has been referenced in ancient Greek and Roman literature and continues to be interpreted in fields like literature, art, psychology, and psychiatry.
Edward Wadsworth was a British painter from 1889-1949 who was inspired by his service in the Royal Navy during World War I. He created paintings featuring juxtapositions of natural and man-made forms within sea-shore contexts, such as ships next to rocks, which had a surreal quality. Over his career, Wadsworth developed his style to incorporate more abstraction and large scale compositions while continuing to explore the relationships between nature and human creations.

Hollywood films often take creative liberties with historical events for dramatic purposes that may distort or oversimplify what actually happened. Movies need to condense complex events into a digestible narrative over a few hours, whereas historians have more time to analyze the nuances and complexities of history. While films can introduce audiences to interesting periods of history, their primary goal is entertainment rather than accurate historical documentation.
