Mythology and folktales have great power to shape how we think of the world. For this activity, you will be comparing a myth or folktale to a modern event influenced by social media. You may use either the Greek myth of the warrior Achilles and his vulnerable heel, or you can choose a folk tale from any cultural tradition.
For your paper, write a one paragraph summary of the classic folk tale or myth. Cite your source(s).
Then, find a modern news story or fictional story that involves social media that has similarities to the myth. Write a one paragraph summary of the news story or fictional story. Cite your source(s).
Now, write a short essay of 200-400 words discussing the differences, similarities, and how the modern story could be seen as a transformation of the folk tale. Make sure your essay has an introductory paragraph, outlining your main point, and a closing paragraph that sums up your argument.

Greek religious myths are concerned with gods or heroes in their more serious aspects or are connected with ritual. They include cosmogonical tales of the genesis of the gods and the world out of Chaos, the successions of divine rulers, and the internecine struggles that culminated in the supremacy of Zeus, the ruling god of Olympus (the mountain that was considered the home of the gods). They also include the long tale of Zeus’s amours with goddesses and mortal women, which usually resulted in the births of younger deities and heroes. The goddess Athena’s unique status is implicit in the story of her motherless birth (she sprang full-grown from Zeus’s forehead); and the myths of Apollo explain that god’s sacral associations, describe his remarkable victories over monsters and giants, and stress his jealousy and the dangers inherent in immortal alliances.

Myths of Dionysus, on the other hand, demonstrate the hostility aroused by a novel faith. Some myths are closely associated with rituals, such as the account of the drowning of the infant Zeus’s cries by the Curetes, attendants of Zeus, clashing their weapons, or Hera’s annual restoration of her virginity by bathing in the spring Canathus. Some myths about heroes and heroines also have a religious basis. The tale of creation and moral decline forms part of the myth of the Four Ages (see below Myths of the ages of the world). The subsequent destruction of humanity by flood and regeneration of humans from stones is partly based on folktale.
