MODERN-RETELLING PRESENTATION: Please submit a .ppt or .pptx file containing a Microsoft PowerPoint slideshow that (1) succinctly and intricately summarizes a classical myth that occupies more than one page of Ovid’s Metamorphoses (other than the myth of Adonis); (2) cogently identifies an academic discipline within which this myth can be studied; (3) clearly and precisely describes a modern retelling of this myth in another artistic source; (4) explicitly specifies which artist/artists has/have created this retelling and when and where she/he/it/they has/have existed and worked; (5) astutely explains the ways in which the myth has changed and remained the same in this retelling; and (6) will take you no more than 10 minutes to present in class. Please incorporate into your slideshow an excerpt from the modern mythic text (if applicable) and at least one .jpg file or hyperlink to a photograph or audio or video recording posted to a Web site (with all of the recorded material lasting no more than 5 minutes in duration).
The slideshow for the modern-retelling presentation needs to focus on a modern retelling of a myth from books 12 through 15 of Ovid’s Metamorphoses. Please submit as soon as possible a slideshow that focuses on a modern retelling of a myth from books 12 through 15 of Ovid’s Metamorphoses. As I mentioned in my comments on your modern-retelling outline, I recommend that you study the “Helen Ruins My Life” chapter of The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood, which is a modern retelling of the story of Paris in the Trojan War from book 12 of Ovid’s Metamorphoses.
((Please make sure to read the professor’s comment in the end of the uploaded outline)) and also to write notes beneath each slide so I can know what to say
