Images of the stories Mr. Sexson wants the class to focus on

The rape of Io(25) After Jove rapes her she is turned into a cow by jealous Juno.


Story of Syrinx(31), first instance of frame narrative


Europa(71), She is a beautiful girl taken into the sea by Jove against her will when she is misled to think he is a bull.


Arachne(177), She is turned into a spider


Pygmalion(335) After believing women to be whores he makes a statue of his ideal woman and falls in love with the lifeless figure. Venus grants him his wish of making the statue come to life.


Pythagoras(515) He is a blind man that has knowledge unknown to immortals. He believes that eating meat is bad because you could potentially be eating your kin considering souls travel from body to body, human and animal.
