"I never meant to start a war
You know, I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know we're fighting for
Why does love always feel like a battlefield"

This song reminds me of Paris because he didn't mean to start a 10 year war over Helen, he was just claiming his prize that was promised to him by Aphrodite. He didn't intend for Helen to be married and for Menelaus to start a war but he wanted Helen.]]> 2019-02-11 15:48:53 UTC https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/329924134 roryd22_1 https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/329924442 Shut Up and Dance by Walk the Moon
"Oh don't you dare look back
Just keep your eyes on me (...) 
This woman is my destiny"

This song reminds me of Orpheus because he wasn't allowed to look back at Eurydice if he wanted her to leave the underworld. He almost made it out of the underworld without looking at Eurydice because as the song says she's his destiny but he felt as if she was not behind him and so she was forced back into the underworld.]]> 2019-02-11 15:49:13 UTC https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/329924442 roryd22_1 https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/329924548 I'll be Waiting by Adele
"but we had time against us and miles between us, the heavens cried I know I left you speechless but now the sky has cleared and it's blue and I see my future in you"

This song reminds me of Penelope when Odysseus was away at war for over 20 years. When the song said that time was against them and there were miles between them, it is similar to when Penelope was waiting for Odysseus to come home even if time was against them.]]> 2019-02-11 15:49:23 UTC https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/329924548 roryd22_1 https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/329924643 Love Story by Taylor Swift
"And my daddy said, 'Stay away from Juliet' And I was crying on the staircase begging you, please, don't go and I said, 'Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all that's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess It's a love story, baby just say yes. So I sneak out to the garden to see you, we keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew"

This song reminds me of Pyramus and Thisbe's plan to sneak out at night so they could be together. They weren't able to see each other during the day because their parents will say, as the song does, to stay away from each other so they had to go "somewhere we can be alone".]]> 2019-02-11 15:49:31 UTC https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/329924643 roryd22_1 https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/329924728 Before he Cheats by Carrie Underwood
"Right now, he's probably buying
Her some fruity little drink"
"Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats"

This song reminds me of Hera getting revenge after Zeus has an affair with Callisto. The song talks about how the man is probably out with another girl and Zeus was known to cheat on Hera often. The song also talks about how after she gets revenge that maybe the boy will learn his lesson and Hera was hoping that Zeus would learn him lesson by turning Callisto into a bear.]]> 2019-02-11 15:49:39 UTC https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/329924728 roryd22_1 https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/329924836 Obsession by Animation
"I will have you 
Yes, I will have you 
I will find a way and I will have you "

This song reminds me of how Pygmalion created his own perfect woman and fell in love with her even though she was just a statue. He was determined to have his dreams girl and his wish was granted.]]> 2019-02-11 15:49:48 UTC https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/329924836 roryd22_1 https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/329924940 fOoL fOr YoU by Zayn
"'Cause I'm a fool for you 
And the things you do"

This song reminds me of how Apollo is hopelessly in love with Daphne but she wants nothing to do with him. The song says that he's "a fool for you" and in the story, he followed Daphne around until she became concerned and was turned into a tree.]]> 2019-02-11 15:49:57 UTC https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/329924940 roryd22_1 https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/329925039 Boyfriend by Justin Bieber
"If I was your boyfriend, I’d never let you go I can take you places you ain’t never been before. Baby take a chance or you’ll never ever know"

This song reminds me of Dionysus convincing Ariadne to be with him instead of with Theseus. Like the song says, Dionysus wants Ariadne to know that he's better than Theseus by saying "I can take you places you ain't never been before".]]> 2019-02-11 15:50:07 UTC https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/329925039 roryd22_1 https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/329925134 Forced to Love by Broken Social Scene
"'Cause we're forced to love"
"Then you're a fool"

This song reminds me of how Hephaestus and Aphrodite were forced to marry each other because Hera arraigned their marriage. Aphrodite dd not like the idea of being married to Hephaestus and cheated on him and he feels like a fool, like the song says.]]> 2019-02-11 15:50:14 UTC https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/329925134 roryd22_1 https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/329925231 P.S. I Love You by the Beatles 
"As I write this letter, send my love to you. Remember that I'll always be in love with you. Treasure these few words till we're together. Keep all my love forever"

This song reminds me of the poems Catullus wrote about Lesbia and how he changed out Lesbia for her real name when he needed to. The song talks about how they are not always together, similar to Catullus and Lesbia because Lesbia was married but he still loved her.]]> 2019-02-11 15:50:21 UTC https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/329925231 roryd22_1 https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/329925330 You and I by One Direction
"You and I
We don't wanna be like them
We can make it 'til the end
Nothing can come between
You and I
Not even the Gods above
Can separate the two of us
No, nothing can come between
You and I"

This song reminds me of how Baucis and Philemon turn into the intertwined trees because "not even the gods above could separate the two of us". The song also talks about how they don't want to be like them and can make it to the end because they showed hospitality and therefore were allowed to live unlike the rest of their town. ]]> 2019-02-11 15:50:31 UTC https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/329925330 roryd22_1 https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/329925396 Wannabe by the Spice Girls
"If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends"
"If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give"

This song reminds me of the multiple obstacles Psyche has to overcome to see Cupid after she loses his trust. She has to make Venus like her because she is Cupid's mother, like how the song says "you gotta get with my friends". Psyche also has to complete a series of almost impossible tasks to please Venus so she "has got to give" in effort to get her reward.]]> 2019-02-11 15:50:39 UTC https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/329925396 roryd22_1 https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/329925489 idontwannabeyouanymore by Billy Eilish
"I just wish you could feel what you say. Show, never tell"

This song reminds me of Echo because she was not able to express her feelings to Narcissus because she was only able to repeat what other people say. As a result, Echo follows Narcissus and pops out of a bush to show that she loves him because she couldn't physically tell him.]]> 2019-02-11 15:50:47 UTC https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/329925489 roryd22_1 https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/329925577 You Light Up my Life by Whitney Huston 
"So many nights I'd sit by my window"
"you light up my life"
"Rollin' at sea, adrift on the water"

This song reminds me of Leander because he would "sit by his window" for Hero to light a flame for him to follow. This song represents the meaning of the flame that Hero lights - Leander loves Hero and she lights up his life. This song also mentions being adrift at sea which relates to how Leander would follow the flame and also how he died.]]> 2019-02-11 15:50:56 UTC https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/329925577 roryd22_1 https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/329925676 You've Got a Friend in Me by Randy Newman
"You got troubles, and I got them too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you"

Although Cypharissus stabs his companion, his stag, he didn't purposefully kill the animal. He loved his stag very much and like the song says, there isn't anything he wouldn't do for his stag.]]> 2019-02-11 15:51:04 UTC https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/329925676 roryd22_1 https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/329925756 Trust by Justin Bieber
"If you want the best for us like I want the best for us, then we gotta learn trust right now"

This song reminds me of the relationship between Cephalus and Procris because they were very concerned that they were both not faithful to each other. They love each other but when the thought of unfaithfulness was planted into their minds because of Eos, they "gotta learn trust right now."]]> 2019-02-11 15:51:12 UTC https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/329925756 roryd22_1 https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/329925834 Who Knew by Pink
"If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone"
"You took my hand
You showed me how
You promised me you'd be around"

This song reminds me of how Dido's husband, the Kind of Carthage passed away and how she was not ready to lose him. The song also reminds me of this story because Dido thought that Aeneas would be faithful and "promise to be around" but he left on his ship and only came back because there was a storm that prevented his boat from leaving Carthage.]]> 2019-02-11 15:51:20 UTC https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/329925834 roryd22_1 https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/331614905 2019-02-15 04:37:35 UTC https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/331614905 roryd22_1 https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/331614950 2019-02-15 04:38:02 UTC https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/331614950 roryd22_1 https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/331615062 2019-02-15 04:39:07 UTC https://padlet.com/roryd22_1/s12996p1x7mr/wish/331615062
