By the end of this course, students will have learned about many types of mythologies and cultures from around the world. Students will have gained deeper insights into these mythologies and traditions through the humanoid or human hybrid creatures that still have a place in our modern day today. Students will be able to make connections between themselves and these cultures, ideas and traditions that are present in the myths of this class. Students will be able to compare and contrast the mythological creatures, gods, and stories and then discuss the main ideas from the 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.

Homework Offered
Optional homework will be given at the end of each class as a means of using the knowledge gained to engage in different activities with family members. These exercises are not mandatory for the subsequent classes, but are helpful in letting the student practice the material or concepts that were presented with parents or siblings.
