Similarities Between Myths

One of the myths I read today is titled Glaucuas and Scyllia. It talks about the transformation of Glaucus into a sea creature and how he fell into uncorresponding love with the sea nymph Scyllia. He consulted Circe, an enchantress, who said that it was best if he forgot about her, but when he said that he was not able to do that, she got angry and targeted this anger towards Scyllia, turning her into some sort of plant. The next myth was that of Pygmalion, a man who created a beautiful sculpture and fell in love with it. He Asked Venus to turn it into a real woman, she consented, and she was named Paphos. The final myth was that of Dryope. She made the mistake of plucking a flower that was really a disguised Godess, and was transformed into a tree as punishment.

The similarity between al of these myths are the transformations. Glaucus turned into a sea creature, Scyllia into a plant, Paphos into a real woman, and Dryope into a tree. It also appears in myth such as Narcisso. who also turned into a flower. I also notice that most of these transformation were into something in nature, probably because it was so important to them.
