1. Your myth short story. Criteria:

a. Does your story reflect the myth in a satisfying way, so that we feel the metaphorical power of the myth at work? In other words, does the myth seem plausible in the modern setting, and at the same time are crucial parts of the myth not left out?

b. Is there a satisfying sense of a beginning, middle, and end?

c. Are your sentences well-formed? Does the story show some artistic energy and still remain disciplined and clear?

2. Memorize the new plot points about the fall of Troy, and review the old ones.
