Paper instructions:

The life of a myth. We have read a variety of myths throughout the class (i.e.: The Odyssey, The Inferno, Gilgamesh, The Metamorphoses) that have clearly had a profound influence on subsequent generations of literature and culture. Choose one of these three texts, and discuss how it has influenced subsequent work and/or is continuing to be an influence today. Quote liberally from your chosen text and the texts that you believe that it influenced. You should also draw from 2-3 outside critical texts to support your claims.
