Ovid's Metamorphoses, translated into English by Tony Kline
Unit: Ovid I
Zeus and Poseidon decide to destroy mankind with a great flood
2 survivors: Deucalion and his wife Pyrrha
Themis - goddess of law and order
-told them to throw the stones behind them. Although very confused by her words, the couple obeyed the goddess. The stones began to take the shape of humans. The stone turned into flesh and the new humankind was born.
"So the toughness of our race, our ability to endure hard labour, and the proof we give of the source from which we are sprung"
Deucalion: "The human race remains in us." (I liked the quote)
lo was raped by zeus--transforms her into an animal to hide her from his wife--she restores her human body after zeus orders his son to kill Argus.
