This was an assignment in English; basically, we've been reading a bunch of greek myths and were assigned to create our own to explain a natural phenomenon using at least two greek figures. Here's mine.
"I've got a built-in 'Evil manipulative dickwad' radar." -Sasuke(Is this Reality)
Long ago, there was a woman who was envious of all the people around her, living seemingly perfect lives, all except her. For the woman, Felicity, ironically named for happiness, was always sad. Nothing seemed to cheer her up, even her friends eventually lost all hope when she wouldn't even smile despite their efforts. Euphrosyne saw this and frowned, seeing how the melancholy air the woman carried with her brought misery to those around her, ruining the mood at parties and driving her friends and family away unknowingly.
Euphrosyne is one of the graces, the goddess of good cheer, and seeing such a sad woman made her empathetic. She thought about how she could cheer Felicity up, since her friends have exhausted most possibilities already. Euphrosyne thought about this long and hard, and eventually came up with an idea, deciding to go to Khione for help with her plan. The place that Felicity lived had never seen snow, though the woman had heard of the white powder, she longed to see it in person. Euphrosyne convinced the snow nymph to make it snow in the village, claiming that it would certainly make the mortal woman happy.
When felicity saw the graceful snowflakes dancing down to the earth, she gasped, covering her mouth with her hand in surprise. Gently, she held out a hand and let the cold lick at her skin, staring in wonder as the intricate ice crystals stuck to her hand and melted. Euphrosyne watched as her lips upturned into a small smile, warmth twinkling in the woman's dark eyes. The snowflakes stuck to her hair and eyelashes, giving her form an almost ethereal look. Her small smile stretched into a wide grin, a laugh bubbling up in her throat, feeling happiness at last. Euphrosyne felt a rush of joy at being able to make such a sad woman happy, thanking her distant relative profusely for helping her achieve this. Khione, bemused, didn't understand Euphrosyne's sense of accomplishment, but accepted the thanks nonetheless, going back to the north. Happy tears dotted Felicity's face, trailing down her chin and forming what we call icicles on the roofs of houses.
The icy stagnates a symbol of new happiness
