Myth Week Discussion

Myth Week Discussion

1. Identify and describe a specific “other,” a monster, a villain, or an enemy in Roman mythology, using the learning resources.
2. Use a specific myth of the “other” you have identified in #1 to analyze the purpose of “the other” in Roman mythology. Compare and contrast “the other” you have found in Roman mythology to an instance of “the other” you see in our world today. Why do humans need a concept of “the other,” and what function does it serve?
3. Cite your sources using MLA format in a Works Cited list at the end of your post.
4. In your replies to your classmates, further develop their posts by offering additional analysis of their “others” in Roman mythology and/or their commentary on why we need the “other.”
