The gods decided to punish the humans as they stole fire and started to forget their praying to the gods. They decided to send a flood to wipe out the humans, except for two. The gods decided to spare Deucalion and Pyrrha because they were honest, loyal, fair, and liked by most. After they built their boat, and the flood destroyed mankind, they were the only two that survived. As they mourned the losses, Hermes felt bad and told them to throw rocks behind them as they walked. Surprisingly enough the rocks they flew turned into babies as they hit the ground. Deucalion's rocks become fair men , and Pyrrha's become women. At last they ruled the people as king and queen.]]> 2020-02-13 17:38:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kgrasha/qgl6yuc965q8/wish/445159225 Pyramus and Thisbe by : Anna Memminger and Sofia Todaro https://padlet.com/kgrasha/qgl6yuc965q8/wish/445162129 Pyramus and Thisbe were in love. Their parents refused to allow them to marry each other. The only way they could talk to each other is through a crack in the wall between their houses.

By: Grace Ludwig and Julianne King

Echo was a nymph who was punished because Echo would talk to Juno for hours to distract her and help Zeus with his affairs. Juno cursed Echo so that she no longer had a voice of her own and she could only repeat the voice of others. One day, Echo saw Narcissus and she fell in love with him, but she was waiting for him to talk. Narcissus saw Echo, but immediately rejected her. Echo faded away only with her voice. When Narcissus was a baby, his mother was told that he would live a long life, only if he never recognized himself. Narcissus said a prayer that he wants to feel what it was to love, but feel no affection back. There was a fountain, and he looked down to take a drink, and saw his reflection. He thought it was a beautiful creature living in the water, and he fell in love with it. Every time he went to go hug, kiss, or touch the image, the water rippled away so the image would disappear. This made Narcissus very sad and he would say “Come back, I want to see your face.” He couldn’t pull himself away from the fountain, and forgot about everything else. He died of starvation, he never ate because he was drowned to the “creature” He also died from a broken heart because he could never be with it.

There once was a sculptor named Pygmalion who was disgusted by prostitutes which made him believe that all women were flawed. Because of this, he made a vow to himself to never love another woman. Ironically, he created a statue of the most perfect and gorgeous woman and falls in love with it. He would bring the statue gifts of flowers, seashells, and beads, and he would dress the statue in fine clothing. One day, Pygmalion sacrifices a bull to Aphrodite during her festival. Taking pity on the man, Aphrodite sends Pygmalion a sign and the fire from the offering shoots up into the air three times. When Pygmalion comes home, he caresses and hugs the statue. However, the statue seemed more full of life and was warm to the touch. From this, Pygmalion realizes that Galatea was alive, and his prayer to Aphrodite for her to become human was granted. Afterward, Pygmalion thanks the goddess for her gift and the two get married and have a son named Paphos, who founded the city Paphos in Cyprus. The two live happily ever after.

In Greek mythology, Atalanta was known as a swift-footed huntress, and was the daughter of Schoeneus.  She was left alone at birth to die from her father because he wanted a male heir instead of having a daughter. While she was left to die she was found by a bear and was later found by a group of hunters. After she had decided to remain a virgin it was still a major question if she was going to get married or not. Her father asks her to marry and she only agrees if the person she races beats her. If the person she races loses they are punished with death. Hippomenes was the son of Megareus and the great-grandson of Poseidon. He later fell in love with Atalanta, and was determined to race against her. Venus gave Hippomenes 3  golden apples to throw to delay Atalanta so Hippomenes could marry her. Therefore Hippomenes won the race and got to marry Atalanta. When they get married they rebuff to the goddess Ceres or Cybele by having desecrating her temple and, due to this, they are transformed into the two lions pulling her cart.
