a myth is a type of story with these 4 components:

  • gods/ godesses
  • journey or a conflict
  • archetype
  • it explains a natural phenomonon

In english class we have read these myths:

  • Jason and the Golden fleece
  • Perseues slays the Gorgon
  • Demeter and persephone
  • Prometheus
  • the origin of life and fire
  • Thor's Hammer

I liked the myth Jason and the fleece the most because it was easier to follow.

which one you liked the best? and why?
