GREEK MYTHOLOGY TEAM PROJECT
Your group will produce a complete project on an assigned Greek HEROIC Myth, including a works cited list, different forms of written analysis, an oral presentation, and a Google Slide presentation. Your analysis of the HEROIC Myth will include an analysis and explanation of the Hero’s Journey for the Myth; an analysis of the geographic location of the Myth (real or fictional); details of the specific aspects of “Classical” Greek culture and SYMBOLS related to the “Classical” Greek culture mentioned in the Myth; and literary analysis of the Myth: you will explain how the important themes of your assigned Myth are relevant to our current modern society and you will provide evidence of the influence of this Myth on modern storytelling, and draw connections between this ancient Myth and modern texts.
Use your best research skills by making a plan and using reliable resources (see below).

In-text Citations
When quoting, paraphrasing , summarizing, or referring to a source from the works cited page, use parenthetical/in-text citations in the body of the text.
An in-text citation generally consists of the author’s last name and page number (Smith 15).
What if…?
If the author’s name is already used in the sentence, include only the page number in the parentheses:
Smith stated the egg came before the chicken (144).
If the work cited has no author, use the title or a shortened version of it … (MLA Handbook 54).
If what you quote or paraphrase in your paper is itself a quotation in the source, add the phrase "qtd. in" to the parenthetical reference as shown here:
"I have proven that the chicken came before the egg" (qtd. in J. Smith 21).
If a source does not have page numbers or fixed page numbers (as from some electronic devices), include in the in-text citation enough information for the reader to find the corresponding entry on the works cited page—usually the author’s last name.
The play “The Chicken and the Egg” was a light-hearted comedy (Johnson).
