8. "Among School Children" VS. "A Prayer for My Daughter“ Mythology The mythological level is more subtle and symbolic. The poem primarily focuses on Yeats' reflections on aging and the passage of time. However, Yeats weaves in references to Greek mythology, particularly the myth of Leda and the Swan. Utilizes more directly as a means of imparting wisdom and guidance. The speaker invokes mythological figures (like Helen of Troy & Andromache to convey lessons about love, strength, and resilience.) "Among School Children" "A Prayer for My Daughter" It is a more explicitly mythological poem. The poem is filled with imagery of nature, magic, and the supernatural. It draws upon Irish folklore and mythology, presenting the faeries as alluring but ultimately dangerous beings. "Among School Children"
