Beautiful mother daughter relationship described and myth used poetically. I wanted a straightforward retelling of the myth but can't use yours because I'm looking for very simple language - kind of hewn out of rock quality. Nice retelling, though.

It's funny, you are not the first to say something along these lines. I guess people need the info for school, and can't find simple explanations. I'm just using the myth to show the agelessness of these kinds of situations among mothers and daughters, as a segue into my memoir. I read a few different versions of the myth and combined them to make one coherent story. -- MS </em> Thank you. It’s funny, you are not the first to say something along these lines.

I like this a lot better because it is simple and easier to understand than most versions of this same myth.
