When you are writing your myth, consider location as part of the story. Where would people be experiencing earthquakes? What is the habitiat like? What animals live in the area?

As you ponder what to write, it is important to know that Greeks insisted on certain guidelines. Everthing they composed, built, made, conceived, danced, sang, or explained had elements of beauty, symmetry, clarity, balance, proportion, and function. Your story should not only have beautiful language, but should also serve a function (explain something in nature - either human nature or the earth).
