Question: The myths of Latona and Lycian Peasants, Jupiter and Lycaon, and Ares and Aphrodite all centre on the transgression of fundamental social and moral values in Greco-Roman society. Firstly, exam the ways in which these 3 myths depict this transgression and their consequences. Secondly, show how these myths serve as illustrations of Walter Burkert's definition of myth studied in Lesson 1.

Be sure to review the section in Lesson 1 called "Interpreting the Judgment of Paris." There you will find an example of how to apply Burkert's definition to an actual myth.

Your response must address all 3 of these myths.

Remember that a strong forum post references both lecture materials and primary source readings, providing the necessary parenthetical citations.
