How do I separate a myth source from a modern adaptation?

A four-step working method

1. Identify a text, object or collection record with edition or catalog reference.
2. Separate source description, translation choice and your interpretation.
3. Log visual motifs without claiming that one depiction defines all traditions.
4. Track reuse rights for each modern image or translation separately.

Common errors to avoid

• Merging traditions or retellings without identifying which source says what.
• Treating an empty worksheet field as a confirmed zero or a verified fact. Mark missing information explicitly.
• Sharing a working brief as a professional conclusion. Keep assumptions and unanswered questions attached.
