Be looking around online and in books you own for a fun Greek myth you enjoy and might like to work with.

Your myth should be a Greek myth of about 2-3 pages in length. While Hercules is exciting, his myth is usually hard to capture in the project we're creating. You can choose his myth IF you think you're up for a big challenge. Otherwise, try to find a nice sized story like the ones we read in class. Look online, in books of Greek mythology in your own home, and at the library.
