For the past few years I've shown my Myth class one of Redon's Phaethon paintings after we've read Ovid's Phaethon story in the
Metamorphoses. I also mention to the students that Redon did multiple treatments of the myth throughout his career. Today a student came to office hours to talk through several of those other treatments, and it was a treat to spend time with Redon's work in that way.
