“The Flight of Icarus” • Hubris in Greek Mythology is described as “excessive pride toward or defiance of the gods.” Explain how both Icarus and his father Daedalus suffer from hubris using evidence from the text. • What is the theme of Icarus’s story? Remember, this is something the author believes and wants us to walk out the door with to use in our lives. (Remember Paperman) • People today may refer to someone “who flew too close to the sun” as a cautionary tale. What does this expression mean and what does it have to do with the myth of Icarus? Explain. • Where in the text did the author provide hints (foreshadow) the outcome of Icarus’s flight? • Find three examples of figurative language, for example: similes, metaphors, alliteration, imagery, personification, etc. Video version of Icarus’s flight • Compare and Contrast the written version to the video version. (Think of characters, setting, problem, director’s choice, etc.) • Why would directors chose to change the look or feel of a Greek myth for different audiences? Explain your answer. “The Flight of Icarus” • Hubris in Greek Mythology is described as “excessive pride toward or defiance of the gods.” Explain how both Icarus and his father Daedalus suffer from hubris using evidence from the text. • What is the theme of Icarus’s story?
