Many of our modern concepts find a basis in Greek or Roman mythology. Please survey this particular site and find one "god" and link that god to a current concept.

For example, the FTD Florists use the Roman god Mercury as their insignia/logo.


Mercury is known for speed and being the courier of the gods.

So, review this list, find a god and link them to a current concept/product. Examine the links in depth, some names MAY NOT be initially familiar to you, but the symbols associated with the gods may be quite familiar.

Use the tag to illustrate your work.

This reading will be of great help as we pursue Jung and his relation to communication.
