What type of myth is Pyramus and Thisbe?

If you know types of myths I really need your help on this one. I'm doing a report for Mythology where I have to do Myth Maps. That include all this different stuff. And I have everything else done except for the types on all of them!! If you know what types of myths "Pyramus and Thisbe", "Prometheus and IO", "Europa", "The Cyclops Polyphemus", Narcissus", "Adonis", "Cupid and Psyche", "Orpheus and Eurydice", "Pegasus and Bellerophon", and "Daedalus" are, PLEASE HELP!!!!! I MUST PASS!!!! THANK YOU!!!

What type of myth is Pyramus and Thisbe?
I will help with the ones I know. "Pyramus and Thisbe" is a Greek lover's tale. "Prometheus and Io" I am not sure what that would be considered. "Europa" is one tale of Zeus' misdoings. "Polyphemus" is mentioned in the Odyssey, which is an heroic tale. "Narcissus" I believe would be considered a morals story. "Adonis" would be another lover's tale, as would "Cupid and Psyche" and "Orpheus and Eurydice". "Pegasus and Bellerophon" and "Daedalus" would be adventures. I hope that helps.
