Mythology & Folklore - March 2007

Pandora's Box

Demeter and Persephone

Narcissus and Echo

Theseus and the Minotaur

Pyramus and Thisbe

Questions that need to be answered about each myth.
1) What natural phenomenon if any, does this myth explain?
2) What morals or social values does this myth teach?
3) What category does this myth fit into and why?

I really need help with these questions for my homework, I've searched them on the internet but I can't make sense on what the websites are saying. Please don't copy and paste the websites.

I don't mean like magic tricks and stuff. I meant like...paranormal magic. Mystical, paranormal or supernatural. Like, how people in the 14th century believed in magic.

I hope I could explain it to you good. Thanks in advance. =)

Like for example. True story. My brother disapeard about 2 weeks ago. When we went to look in his room, my gf and i found that the closet door was ripped open. When i looked on the inside of the closet there were nails on its floor...my brothers nails. Looking even further i realized that there was a name carved into the side of the closet...the name read Boogieman. When i asked people on this website, what should i do to get my bro back, they juss told me i was stupid.

I've heard that it comes from a mythological character although I don't know if it was Greek, Roman, Indian or African. Again I've only heard a VERY brief tale about it being of a woman who lures men in order to kill and devour their entrails. Nice.*sarcasm*

Anyone know for sure about the meaning and origin of this 'label'?

Thanks!
