Myths Blog 9

1. Hero And Leander: Once more this myth relates to the awesome power of love and near obsession and the act of dying for love whether in battle or suicide.

2. Minerva: I find it interesting that Minerva presided over both the male and female arts in times that women weren't considered equal or valid and that she too waged war. Other examples of strong women in thier mythology are Diana and Juno.

3. Niobe: The theme of divine punishment is still stron as it was in the preceding myth.
