Allusions

1. One allusion to Greek Mythology I found was the Atlas. Atlas was one of the great Titans who were defeated by Zeus. Atlas was forced to Carry the world on his back for the rest of eternity. Thus, the book with the road maps and geography was named after him.

2. The second Allusion to Greek Mythology is our school's Cross Country and Track Team's logos. The logo is a boot with small weeks coming off the back heel. This is alluding to Hermes, who wore a similar shoe which allows him to travel at rapid speeds. Hermes also gave his boots to Perseus before he killed Medusa!
