Gods, Goddesses, and Heroes: The Stories of Greek Mythology
Brigid Johnson, MA Tufts University
Average rating:5.0Number of reviews:(178)
This ten-week course takes an in-depth examination of the Ancient Greek myths about creation, their most famous heroes, their ancestry, and the Twelve Olympians.
Class experience

Students will learn the major myths of Ancient Greece, what these stories reflect about their culture, and the influences they had on later writers and societies. For students who are already familiar with these stories, the course will enhance their foundational knowledge and advance their thinking about the purpose of these myths, overall.
I have an MA in Classical Studies from Tufts University. While earning my degree there, I was a teaching assistant for a classical mythology course. I tutored mythology during undergraduate studies and taught world mythology at Pikes Peak Community College to concurrently enrolled high school students. I have spent time in Greece and plan to study there again in the future.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Ancient Greek mythology has elements of violence and sexuality; however, these topics have been modified so they are age-appropriate and not at all graphic in nature.
I will provide links to short, scholarly articles that cover the stories we discuss each week.
