Icarus and his wings -
Even though Icarus was a minor character, ( although i am unsure if anyone is a minor character in Greek mythology), a lot of people seem to know his story which is one of the main reasons I would like to focus on him during this project. In brief, the part of his story which I will be focusing on is when Daedalus (his father known for being a great inventor) created some wings made from box wax and feathers, they were both imprisoned and so these wings were to allow Icarus freedom and a way out. he was given the strict instructions not to fly too close to the sun else the wings would melt and he would plunge to his death, sadly, he did not listen to these instructions and exactly that happened.
I would like to focus on the idea of these wings made from wax and the melting of them. This will be turned into an animation of the wings slowly melting. I will most likely add in some feathers as well to make it true to the story.
Pandora’s Box
After Prometheus had created man, he was told very strictly by Zeus to never give them the gift of fire, of course he ignored these rules and did it anyway. This caused Zeus to become very angry and so he came up with a master plan to get revenge. He asked Hephaestus to create a beautiful female who was coached and taught by a few of the gods/ goddesses including Athena. She was given the name Pandora. Zeus gave her a present which she was to never open, it was a Pithos (a Greek sort of jar) but many people know this to have a been a box, the words were lost in translation over the years. Her curiosity grew stronger and stringer until eventually she opened the box and released all forms of evil into the world. Meaning Zeus had had a successful revenge on mankind.
For this part of the project, I would like to have a box slowly opening with some sort of smoke coming out of the box.
I feel I need to focus on another story to make it 3 stories however I am currently unsure on what to focus on. I will come back to this.
