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.

I will suggest additional, short readings each week. While they will not be required, it is highly recommended as these will further the student's knowledge of the subject and help them with ideas and/or questions to ask during class discussions. I also highly suggest they spend some time studying for the final assessment.

There will be the final grade and a written report on student progress, participation, and behavior sent to the parent(s)/guardian(s) when the course ends.

1 hour per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.

I will provide links to short, scholarly articles that cover the stories we discuss each week.
