Common Characteristics of Myths 1. Myths teach a lesson or explain-the natural world Winter came when Persephone was forced to spend part of the year underground. The striking of Thor's hammer caused thunder. 2. Myths have many gods and goddesses-Many myths had a huge cast of characters that had specific jobs. Zeus controlled the heavens, Poseidon controlled the seas and Hades ruled the underworld. 3. The gods and goddesses are super-human- Jason won the golden fleece by performing impossible tasks. Atlas held up the world. 4. The gods and goddesses have human emotions- Pandora was curious. Loki and Eros were mischievous. Hera was jealous. 5. Myths contain magic -The sons of the North Wind and Pegasus could fly. Ciice transformed men into pigs. Athena was born from Zeus' head. 6. Gods and goddesses often appear in disguises- Hera appeared to Jason as a old woman. Aphrodite became a hunter. 7. Good is rewarded and Evil is punished- Baucis and Philemon were rewarded for their generosity to Zeus, but Prometheus was punished for stealing fire from the gods. 8. Myths can be violent (within reason, PLEASE!) -Thor killed Thrym with his hammer. Prometheus' liver was eaten by vultures!
