Comments: Disney's Hercules was one of my favorite movies growing up and I still enjoy watching it today. The movie combines a lot of his other battles into one, but I would enjoy reading more in depth about a couple of them.
Possible Stories: I know Hercules has had a ton of battles and I thought it would be interesting to write about a few of his biggest battles through the eyes of his victims. I really enjoyed reading Mythology's Most Wanted, and thought it would be fun for them to tell you their story of the battle from the Underworld. I was thinking about using the Nemean Lion, Lernaean Hydra, and Antaeus.
Sample Story: The story I chose to read was the Nemean Lion from the Labours of Hercules. I was familiar with this story because of the recent Hercules movie with the Rock and wanted to read more about it. I liked this story because the monster was something that can be seen today, a lion, except way more cool.

Topic: Heroes
Comments: I have always been fascinated by heroes and enjoy learning about the crazy events in their lives. There are countless heroes and I think it would be easy to find at least four that interest me.
Possible Stories: The most famous mythological heroes that first come to mind are Perseus, Hercules, Thor, Odysseus, and Achilles. They are really interesting because they aren't ordinary and have rich history.
Sample Story: I read Homer's Iliad in the Un-Textbook and I really enjoyed it. Achilles was an amazing fighter and was the primary reason for the fall of Troy. I liked how it made him sound invincible and how detailed everything was. By the end of the story, I felt like I knew Achilles pretty well.

Topic: Creatures
Comments: There are so many terrifying creatures in mythology and I would enjoy reading more about some of them.
Possible Stories: Pegasus was one of my favorite growing up, so I would like to include him. In addition to Pegasus, I think the Loch Ness Monster, Minotaur, Hydra, and Centaur would be interesting to write about.
Sample Story: I read the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur and I found it very interesting. I thought it was crazy that King Minos refused to kill the Minotaur and instead hid it in his labyrinth.
Bibliography Information:
Sample Story: Theseus and the Minotaur
Topic: Norse Gods
Comments: The movies made by Marvel that include Thor have made me very interested in other Norse mythology.
Possible Stories: I could include stories with Loki, Thor, Odin, and maybe major battles.
Sample Story: I found the story of Thor's Duel with Hrungnir and decided to read it because I had never heard of it. This story was interesting and even explained the origin of flint on earth.
