Read this short description: In Search of Myths and Heroes. (Links to an external sitE, attached below)
https://www.pbs.org/mythsandheroes/myths_arch_paradise.html#content
Read the first page, then be sure to click on each of the four tiles on the left side of that page, reading each
description (“Woman of Power”, “Paradise”, “Hero” and “The Quest”.) through all the pages of that
particular description (Note that there are “next” and “back” arrows at the bottom of each page; see the
photo below)
Select one of the archetypes listed, except for the The Hero,* and research one of the characters (or
places, if you are using “Paradise” as your subject) the section on that archetype mentions.
First, using your research, thoroughly identify the character (or place), explaining how they/it represents the
idea of its particular Archetype. Some of this will require research, which will need citations.
Secondly, compare the character you chose to a similar character/place in The Odyssey.

(In other words, if you selected “Woman of Power”, then narrowed your choice to Gaia, compare her to
another powerful female in The Odyssey.) What do they have on common in terms of their traits and
personalities? How do they differ, and why? This will likely also require research, and thus need citations.
Thirdly, select a contemporary example of your Archetype, and do the same thing: compare your
contemporary Archetype to both the one you originally compared to a character/place in The Odyssey, and
that character in The Odyssey as well. (For example, using Gaia, the Woman of Power archetype, you
could compare her to Penelope, then compare both Gaia and Penelope to Lady Gaga [OR WHOMEVER–
this is just an example! Do not use those three together!]. This could need citations.
