Myths Blog 5

1. Pygmalion: what I thought most interesting was Pygmalion abhorrishment to women occuring at the same time of his fascination with them. He hated them and resolved to remain unmarried but was so entranced by his ivory creation, whom he painstakingly created in the image of his perfect woman. In short, Pygmalion was afraid of women or repulse but his basic needs had to be met and he easily fell in love.

2. Dryope: Follows in the theme of mortals being punished for angering the gods and enforces the strict moral code and cohabitance of nature of those who followed these teachings.

3. Venus And Adonis: this story also heeds the listeners about believing themselves wiser than gods but I found Venus' slavish devotion more interesting as she who was the epitome of "Chic" would become as gritty as Diana, giving strength to the underlying theme that loves is strongest of all motivations.
