Got Myth?
I’m preparing a lesson plan for a class I’m teaching this quarter and wanted to solicit a few suggestions on a suitable mythological story that would make for a good conceptual art project (character design, storyboarding, etc.)
I’ve checked out several books on the subject, but have yet to find a concise, yet entertaining story that would fit the parameters. A few I’ve come up with: Ulysses and crew and their encounter with the sirens, the abduction of Sita (Ramayana), and Prometheus and Hercules.
Thanks in advance for your input…
