Jump into your favorite mythology on this trip around the world's legendary stories, themed around the creatures with human-like traits of physical appearances. Join with us to see history unfold, split with one foot in the present day and one in the past myths. Together we will learn about how different cultures incorporated our own image into their myths and legends, and see how these stories created some of the things we know or see in today's modern world. We will discuss Philippine, Greek, Persian, Norse mythology as it relates to the human hybrids or humanoids, and talk about how it relates to our current knowledge and culture. I create my entire teaching schedule based on schedule requests, so if you don't see a time that works for you, please put in a request!
Learning Goals
By the end of this lesson, students will be familiar with four types of mythology as related through three, human hybrid-themed stories. Students will be able to make connections with these mythologies by discussing parallels that we have in our modern world and how we can relate back to the ancient myths.

I have spent 5 years studying various world mythologies via multiple facets; I have traveled all over the world, from Mexico's Chichén Itzá to the Greek Parthenon and many other places in between. I have taken university courses, sat in on lectures from historians and archaeologists, and researched both fact (scholarly articles / research papers) as well as modern day fiction built around the ideas found in myth and cultures from all corners of the globe. I continue to educate myself with modern research, literature and seminars whenever possible, all to further my interest in the stories I have studied from multiple cultures.Reviews
