I chose the extra reading on the classical unit and the Ovid's
Metamorphoses: Deucalion and Pyrrha. The first one I read The Flood reminded me of a mix between classical and biblical.
Characters were used to signify Gods and they unleashed their power on the
Earth. I thought it was a unique style, using Greek Gods names and referring to
events that were like that in the bible, but it was a classical style. I also
found it to be very unique that the unit had a story of Jupiter’s rape of lo.Link It was not something I expected to see in a
classical fable unit. I was not fond of Jupiter and his games that he played on
women. I have read only classical units and I found this one to be very
different from the Aesop winter and Jacobs fables I read. They were based more for children and bed time stories that had moral lesson at the end.
This picture represents the great flood.
