Title:<\/strong> Indigenous Voices in Aotearoa New Zealand children’s Literature – a case study<\/p>\n

Oral literature, folk tales, legends, religious tales, and myths have had a great influence on literature over time until the present day. Traditional forms of literature have inspired artists to create paintings, sculptures, and digital artworks, and have become deeply embedded in poetry, short stories, plays, novels, graphic novels, picture books, films, and cartoons. In these adaptations, writers, directors, and artists apply their own artistic agendas when utilizing these ancient tales.<\/p>\n

From Riordan\u2019s Percy Jackson<\/em> and Louie Stowell\u2019s Loki: A Bad God\u2019s Guide to Causing Chaos<\/em> to C.S. Lewis\u2019s Narnia Chronicles<\/em> and movies like Disney\u2019s Hercules<\/em>, mythology continues to inspire modern creators.
