Iphis-The Unnatural Love SUMMARY ODE MORPH an ode to the myth Ode to Iphis Oh Iphis, how miserable you were! For truly you knew you were to be wed to Ianthe but this marriage had a twist known only to you: Ianthe would not marry a groom, but another bride! It all began when your father thought you were a boy as he told his wife the baby would only survive as a boy but she raised you in secret, so lucky were you! But woe did not miss you, the day Ligdus engaged you to the lovely Ianthe so as the dreaded wedding grew ever closer, you begged the gods to change your gender. For why should they not answer you? You have always been faithful, and you want nothing more than to be a man and on the day before the wedding, fortune smiled upon you for Isis granted your plea. Thusly you became the man to gain Ianthe and no longer had to suffer the unnatural love you bore her. http://library.artstor.org/library/iv2.html?parent=true Create a free website Powered by

Iphis-The Unnatural Love SUMMARY ODE MORPH The morph During this morph, I changed a woman into a man because in the myth, Iphis prays to be turned into a man, and her wish is granted. I chose to have the woman frowning because Iphis is very unhappy with being a woman and I ended with a smiling man because she is happy her wish was finally granted and she could marry Ianthe as a man. I chose the song “come together” by The Beatles, because I feel the beat of the song sounds very much so like the background of someone transforming into something they wanted to be. It almost sounds like the unveiling of something that has been expected for a while, like Iphis’ transformation. Create a free website Powered by
