Greek Myth LV: Pseudo-Apollodorus’s Bibliotheca Book III, Chapter XIV – Cecrops, Adonis, Tereus & Procne, Eirchthonius, or Learning How to Share

Everything the gods need to know they should have learned in kindergarten.

Discussion Prompts

  1. Sharing. Is it good or bad? What evidence from this chapter supports your selection?
  2. Retell the Adonis story from the perspective of Persephone.
  3. What does Tereus deserve? Why?
  4. The dog has a name. Why do you think that is? Retell the story of Icarius from Maera’s perspective.
  5. What other theme or themes do you find in this chapter?

I have a BA in History and Classical Civilization from Loyola University Chicago and an MPH from Western Michigan University. I've been a geometry teacher, a religion teacher, a writing tutor. I'm a writer, a knitter, a dancer, a singer, an actor. And, yes, for fun I like to reread everything that was assigned while getting my classics degree.
