You do not need to submit a copy of the myth. This assignment does not require a bibliography, but I need one citation … where you found your myth (in print/online). It is to be submitted on due date electronically (use PDF, DOC, or RTF as accepted file types), 2-3 pages, please make sure name and other info is on paper. Double space preferred, printed/typed, readable font. Do not just restate the myth.

Important: Analyze it using theories from our course, and with some particular questions in mind. Namely, what does it tell us about the culture or society that created it? Is this myth still relevant or meaningful to people today, and why? What theories might explain why this myth was created and utilized?

For centuries humans have developed different stories and myths to explain the purpose of their existence and the happenings around them. Every society thought their myths well-founded to describe life on earth. Poseidon’s myth was a product of Greek mythology to explain the existence of some natural phenomena like earthquakes, horses, and sea creatures (Britannica, n.d). Different theories that have sprung up over time explain the existence and belief in Poseidon’s myth among the Greeks in ancient Greece culture and religion.
