In this 4 Lesson Self-Paced Class, we'll explore four of the world's most fascinating Ancient Mythologies. Each Lesson will focus on a different mythology, including modern renditions in popular culture and lessons on the history and culture of each Ancient Civilization. Activities will accompany each Lesson, including creating original gods/goddess, realms, and myths! If you're interested in one/some of the 4 mythologies, but not all of them, let me know and I can arrange a partial Self-Paced class for you at a prorated discount. This is a Self-Paced class with no live meetings. Each of the 4 Lessons includes a pre-recorded Lesson Video (plus an Optional Worksheet for comprehension) with accompanying Discussion posts, where students will do activities and engage in a back-and-forth with the teacher. Students are also welcome to message me or arrange Q&A or live "office hours" for additional support. I also offer this as a Live Class: https://outschool.com/classes/world-mythology-in-popular-culture-greek-norse-japanese-egyptian-hinduism-bKUIqK1o if your student prefers one of those methods of instruction. See you in class! Class listing photo from Age of Empires Fandom

I'm a huge mythology buff and currently teach popular and well-reviewed live Outschool classes in Greek, Norse, Japanese, and Egyptian Mythology in Popular Culture. I've also studied ancient cultures at Georgetown University, including a class in Ancient Greek Religion. I'm combining them together here in the Self-Paced format and am excited to share my knowledge and love of ancient culture and mythology with you!Reviews
