Document Summary
Monday: classical myths and country music: question one: orpheus was famous for one big mistake. It was: his wife, euridice, died so he went to the underworld to get her back. Used his music to persuade the gods to allow him to take her under one condition, had to walk in front of her and not look back until they were both in the upperworld. He looked back before that and she vanished: orpheus was said to have founded country music, created world"s fair, each country had its own pavilion parthenon temple in athens to honor athena. Zeus refused sex from thetis (mother of achilles) because it was rumored that she would have a son that would overthrow him. Eagles in mythology symbol of zeus. Prometheus had his liver eaten by an eagle sent down on zeus" orders. Brought fire and good meat to mankind, zeus punished man with pandora.
