Greek Myths and Modern Echoes — Homework
Reread this week's notes on Icarus and Achilles before answering.
- 1.What warning does Icarus ignore, and what happens as a result?
- 2.What is Achilles' one weak point, and why does he have it?
- 3.Use both "flying too close to the sun" and "Achilles' heel" correctly, each in its own sentence, about a real or invented situation.
- 4.Why might knowing a myth's full story make its idiom a sharper tool for writing than using it as a vague cliche?
