Identify and briefly describe two divine beings from specific myths, noting which common archetype (kings & judges, mothers, sons, goddesses of death etc.) with which they most align. You may use examples from this week’s Required Learning Materials, or you may find two examples outside of the course readings in reliable scholarly resources from the UMGC library. At least one of these examples should be a goddess or other mythological female figure.

SECONDLY – briefly summarize one myth or scene from a myth for each of these figures.

FINALLY – identify which culture(s) each figure comes from and explain what societal roles you think each figure exemplifies, exploring whether there is a relationship between each figure, their myth, and gender roles and/or status in the culture(s) out of which they come.
