 * Classical Allusion Table **

Greek myths are still relevant today because there are many references in our language and literature and even on television and in movies. These indirect references are called classical allusions.

Following directions, you will be choosing three words and their associated mythological term from the table below and researching their meanings using the links to the dictionaries below. Write in your own words the myth definition and the modern definition on table.

Do not copy & paste. If you copy & paste definitions or descriptions, you will receive a ZERO for the entire assignment. Even if you do it once for one word.

 Choose one word from level 1; one word from level 2; and one from level 3.

If I have to speak to you about following directions, you will NOT be allowed to use the laptops in the classroom and will have to do by hand.
