Phaeton By Ovid

The moral lesson we can get from the story is about listening to our parents advices. The story reflects some hard headed children that always reject their parent advices. We must remember that we won’t exist in this whole wide world without them so we should be thankful to them. As a child to our parents our rule is to obey them for they know what’s best for us. Some parents might be strict but we should reflect that they are doing it in order for us to have a better future. We must also bare in our mind that  we  should respect, obey and love them in that small things we can repay them of their sacrifices for us since we are born. Family is the only thing we should cherish it’s the most important part of or life that we can call our treasure that worth keeping for. In our life we made our own choices and sometimes even our parents can’t stop us doing things we like. In the end, we realize that sometimes our decision can’t satisfy us and should have listened to our parents to avoid disappointment. But what matter most is that we learn from our mistakes and made that mistake a lesson for us to be a better person. And no parents can reject their own child, in the end its still the family will be together for each other.

Daphne By Ovid

In love we should never force other people to love us the way we wanted to be love. If we truly love that certain person even if he/she doesn’t love us back, we should never lose hope that one day the person we long for will be ours in the right time. Giving up and losing hope will make us down but as long as we fight for our feeling and show to that person that you are serious of your love. In due time just wait patiently all the efforts that had been exerted will be satisfied in the end.

Endymion By Theocritus

The moral lesson we can reflect from the story is about being selfish. God gave us enough resources to in order of us to live and share what we have to those people who are in need. God might not be there personally to witness the good things we did to other people but he returns the favor by giving us more blessings in our life. In love being selfish doesn’t make us happy, we are just thinking of our own happiness in order to satisfy our needs. Being selfish will make other people hate us, we should consider other people feelings because I do believe in the saying that “Respect is gained not given”.

Pygmalion and Galatea By Ovid

In love we set standards of whom we should gave our love, a perfect partner having good qualities of physical appearance and good behavior are the things we wish. In our life some people will came to change our philosophy and sometimes even change our whole life. The power of love is immeasurable once it comes we grab the opportunity to be with that person forever. The story is a unique love story of a man fallen in love to a thing that he made which is a statue. This story proves how powerful the Gods by turning the statue into a real woman. In that sense, if we connect this scenario in real life situation we can conclude that God can make the impossible to possible if we pray and praise him as our savior.

Ceyx and Alcyone By Ovid

    These are more lovers who will be rewarded for their passion and piety, though Ceyx and Alcyone are different in that they are older and already married.Prophetic dreams usually come true, and Ceyx cannot escape his  fate. The gods can then try to  reward for Alcyone’s love. They can never change fate, but only try to amend it after the fact. Another example of lovers being rewarded by being transformed into something that allows them to stay together forever. This also becomes an “explanation myth” for both seabirds and the patterns of winds and currents in the ocean.

   The two loved each other devotedly and were never willingly apart. In our life we make decision that sometime lead to our own death. Our curiosity of what life can offer when we explore things by ourselves and reject other peoples advices just make our journey come to an end. It’s better to listen to other peoples advices for they might also experience those things that we want to experience. The story also describes eternal love of a married couple because even death won’t have the power to separate these two lovers. It also shows how a loyal wife never give up hoping that her husband would return in her arms. In the end the couple became birds with the help of the Gods of their unconditional love that they unite not in land but in heaven happily enjoying together with their children.

    Ceyx and Alcyone illustrate the recurring theme of life's cycles. It is the love between them that allows them to move through life's cycle without death. In this way, they achieve a status somewhere between human and divine.The story is an interesting variation on the Greek love myth because it is both tragic and hopeful. Although Ceyx has died and the two lovers will never have a human life together, the gods reward the lovers with new life as birds. The depth of passion and strength of commitment on Alcyone’s part, at least, prove that the two mortals are worthy of everlasting life and love. The actions of the character symbolize true to life behavior of a married couple, Ceyx is the one who goes on the journey, while Alcyone stays home. She seems more concerned about being with him than with the dangers of the ocean which are real. But Ceyx insists that he will travel without her.

Pyramus and Thisbe By Ovid

This story is a precursor to Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet,” and an archetypal tale of tragic young lovers killing themselves over a misunderstanding.Even in this tragic story, love is rewarded with a famous myth and a memorial in the red mulberries. This is another example of the deaths of beautiful youths being associated with plants.

Love, however, cannot be forbidden. The more that flame is covered up, the hotter it burns.

Love always find a way, it is impossible that two hearts were on fire should be kept apart. This story shows unique way of loving for they don’t see each other but they fall in love despite of family quarrels. In true life situation many couples had relationship through social media without seeing each other personally but their distance is not a hindrance of their love.

The story also emphasize that we should think before acting just like knowing what really happened. Being stupid sometimes makes our decision meaningless. So we should use our brain in every decision we make.

Love is not about being together all the time but having faith that in right time you will be together again. Long distance relationship measures how strong you are without the one you love.

The tragedy that unfolds between Pyramus and Thisbe once again suggests that it is not the job of the gods to step in and make everything happy. Although they often take active rolls in helping human characters, they also may take a more passive role as observers. Pyramus and Thisbe seem to have done no wrong to any of the gods, but find themselves as victims to cruel fate.

Baucis and Philemon By Ovid

The story is a proof of immeasurable power of the gods and also of the way they reward the humble and the pious. These couples live together for many years even though they have a simple living but they were contented of what they have. In connection, money is not the most important treasure here on earth as long as we are happy. We must be contented of what we have and share it to other people.  Those simple things we make is much appreciated by God even though he is not their but he returns it as a blessing. Giving without asking in return is the true essence of sharing.

The story also shows unconditional love because these couples are faithful to each other. Being faithful to the one you love is the sweetest feeling. Knowing that your partner is loyal and don’t want to be with other girls it’s just only you.
