Reading Notes: Ovid's Metamorphosis, Part A

I like the initial story among these stories. The one about the great flood and how two humans survived, a man and a woman. It talks about the recreation of the human population and how they turned to the God's for wisdom and understanding. I would like to do something with this story. I want to keep the initial part of the flood mostly the same, I think that allows for a lot of room to start a new chapter and be very original. One thing I would like to change the most though, is that these two aren't the last people on Earth. Actually there were two others who survived and the God's have decided that these two groups will be the start of the next peoples of the Earth, but only one group can start it, the other will perish. So the idea is to have the two pairs struggle amongst each other and in the end see on victorious.
