Mythology 2.0

Let's face it, Greek Mythology is full of memorable characters.  From Prometheus to Pandora, we learn their flaws, follow their actions, and feel their pain.  I wonder what it would be like if these characters lived in today's world and had access to all the 21st century tools that we have.  How would they communicate their stories?  With whom would they share them?

I couldn't resist with trying it out with one of my favorite characters, Prometheus.  First, check out Prometheus's fakebook page where he posts updates on him playing with fire.  Then follow him on Twitter.  You can also read the plan he wrote on Google Story Builder.  Finally, see the text he sent his mom from his iPhone.

After you view them, think about the characters from your favorite myths.  How would they share their experience with these 21st century tools.
