Basics in Mythology

Mythology is one of those subjects that inspire students of all ages. It is something that all of us have heard of in one way or another throughout most of our lives. However, the way that we look at mythology as an academic field is not as frequently discussed.

In this class, students will be introduced to how Mythology discussed as a field of study and how to understand the basic structure of a myth. This course will be using the story of Arachne and Athena to highlight how Myths are used to explain the natural phenomena surrounding a group 

This class will be taught through a combination of a lecture on Myth structure and understanding and discussion of the Myth in question.  The second half of the course will be dedicated to the class using the knowledge they gained on Mythology to create their own Myth to explain an event that commonly happens in their lives 

There is no need for prior knowledge of Mythology to enroll in this class any questions are welcomed and encouraged as to help all students gain a better understanding of the subject
