Comments: I have always been fascinated with Roman/Greek mythology. I have taken several Latin classes since high school and alongside learning Latin, we read mythology. So as you can see the source of my interest in mythology goes back to high school.
Possible Stories: I know that there are numerous mythological stories that entails mortals and immortals. I have already searched the Un-Textbook for stories that are about Gods and Goddesses and man and found a few. I know that there are stories about Cupid, Psyche, Zeus, and Hera. I am sure that there will be others as well.
Sample Story Comments: When I searched the Un-Textbook for stories about immortals and mortals, I found Homer's Illiad. In the Iliad, the Gods are divided. Some supported the Trojans whereas some supported the Greeks.
Bibliography Information:
Sample Story: Homer's Odyssey
Book Title: What Thetis Did for Her Son
Book Author: Alfred J. Church
Topic: Opposites Attract
Comments: I have a little romantic side to myself. I have always enjoyed listening to older couples talk about how they fell in love, despite being the complete opposite of each other. It is fascinating how how people can get along so well even though they are nothing like the other person.
Possible stories: On the top of my a possible story could be the romantic story of Cupid and Psyche. I am sure that there are other stories as well; I just have to do a little research.
Sample Story comments: In the Un- Textbook, the story of Cupid and Psyche stood out to me. Cupid is a God where as Psyche is a mortal. This causes conflict. They are also different from each other in that one is driven by love whereas the other is driven by wealth and superficial things.
