Review sheet

Daphne wanted to be like Artemis. Apollo chases her. Peneus (river god dad) turns her into laurel tree. Refusing gods.

Baucis & Philomen Zeus & Hermes visit folks disguised as beggars. Phrygia. Test xenie. Baucis & Phil. Let em in, feed em, wine em—bowl never empties. Try to kill goose, and the gods thinks it’s cute. Let em be the priests at the temple and then turn them into the oak and linden at their death. Town flooded. Good folks rewarded.

Atalanta left in woods, raised by bear/hunters, killed centaurs, hunted for Calydonian boar. Had a foot race for suitors. Beater gets hand in marriage. Hippomenes/Melanion gets apples from Aphrodite and tosses the three—very tricky. Huntress not interested in marriage. Interference of gods, trickery, turning into animals at end of story.

Bellerophon wanted to capture Pegasus, Athena gives him golden bridal. Rides horsee. Kills people. To compensate he goes to a king who sends him to another (no one wants to kill him b/c of xenie) and he must kill the Chimera, amazons, etc Marries daughter. Tries to fly to Olympus. Ooops. Hubris=dead.

Pyramus & Thisbe. Star-crossed lovers, meet secretly. Thisbe sees lion, leaves cloak, and Pyramus sees cloak, thinks she’s dead, kills himself (histrionic); ergo, Thisbe kills herself. Mulberry tree is reddened. Star crossed lovers.

Europa playing in flowers w/ maidens, Zeus attracted (shocker) and turns himself into the hottest bull ever. Took her to Crete and raped her. Two kids-Minos and Rhadamanthus. Interference of gods. Zeus unrestricted libido.

Cupid & Psyche- Psyche more beautiful than Aphrodite, so she’s angry. She sends Cupid to make her undesirable. He pricks himself and falls in love. Psyche betrys trust by looking at him at night cuz of evil sisters. Sent on 4 tasks separate grain, water from styz, golden fleece, and Persephone’s box. Done. Made immortal –it’s all good. Interefering with gods, disobeying orders and trust, curiosity.

Tantalus & Niobe Tantalus feeds son Pelops to gods (naughty, Hubris). They stick him in a pool in Tartarus where he can’t eat or drink. Descendants cursed including Niobe & Atreus. Niobe claims to be better than Leto with 14 kids, Kids killed dead by Atremis & Apollo, she’s turned into a rock. Going against gods (hubris).

Prometheus & Io Pro Titan gives fire to humans, Zeus ticked and has an eagle peck on his liver. Io young maiden hottie who of course is seduced by Zeus. Turned into cow to hide from vengeful Hera. Hera has Argus guard her, and Zeus has Hermes sing thing to sleep, kills him, and Hera puts eyes on peacock tail. Hera smart and not tricked, has fly chase cow. She has to go to Nile and returns to human and gives birth to line that will spawn Hercules.

Otus & Ephialtes Two giant bros love each other (not in a kinky way). Want to rape Hera & Artemis. Upset gods by piling mountains to climb up to Olympus & trapping Ares. Artemis turns into deer and they try to kill the shiny white thing, but kill each other. Hubris

Pygmalion and Galatea Sculptor, doesn’t like women, makes Galatea, a statue, and falls in love with it (in a kinky way). Aphrodite thinks it’s cute (which is weird in its own rght), so brings her to life. Gods interefering, Aphrodite bringing love.

Daedalus Icarus, his son, and Daed imprisoned in Labyrinth. They get crafty and make wings to fly out. Icarus flies to close to the sun and falls to death in ocean. D’oh! Hubris, not listening to elders.

Orpheus & Eurydice Get married. On wedding day, Eurydice gets snake-bit, dies. He goes down to fetch her. He’s a rocking music man and charms Hades et al, and he’s allowed to bring her up top if he doesn’t look back before they get to the surface. He looks. Oops. She’s done. He travels around playing music. Music, love, 2nd chance.

Hercules Born in Thebes. Dad Zeus Mom Alcmene. Hera mad and had him kill family. Penance = 12 labors as assigned by Eurystheus. Review this one yourself. Fighting gods, don’t kill family, gos and mortals

Perseus Fights and kills Medusa and on way back saves Andromeda. Athena & Hermes help. Gray-eyed women. Hero journey, can’t stop that prophecy (feeling)

Theseus Son of Aegeus of Athens. Kills weird road-side bandits, goes to Crete to kill Minotaur, returns to go on adventure with Pirithous. Journey of hero, prophecies, democracy

Jason Review this one yourself. Journey of hero, Meeting Medea, gods

Flower Myths – Narcissus spurned all lovely maidens, was disgusted by them. Gods punish him by falling in love with himself. He looks in a pool every day longing for himself and dies pining away. Hyancinth killed by Apollo who throws a discus at him and it hits him in the head and kills him. Adonis loved by Aphrodite and Persephone. When with Pesephone, he hunts a dangerous boar and it kills him. Each time the blood of the men creates the flowers.
