(A) Required Experience: 

This is an *educational* multi-day class, suitable for learners who are genuinely interested in ancient Greek mythology or/and history, and who have zero or basic prior knowledge of mythology but are motivated to learn more, and willing to follow this multi-day class in order to acquire a deeper understading of the ancient Greek gods. 

(B) Teaching style and students interaction:

The learning process of this class is based on a combination of a power-point presentation, a lecture that asks students to participate, class dialogue, questions based on the ongoing lecture, and new ideas based on the participants. There is not one universal solution to teach. Rather I combine techniques to achieve the maximum of my strengths and of my students. Having taught so far young kids, teenagers, University students and mature learners, I know that teachers need to approach students with understanding. After all, such a small class has the advantage of making the combined technique of ppt presentation-lecture-dialogue feasible and efficient. Thanks to Zoom, engaging students and interacting with them is always possible. 

(C) Class format and topics to be covered: 

Each class dedicated to a single god could be attended individually, but only attending all classes will give a student the chance to fully understand the major Greek gods, since they form a coherent group of powerful divine beings. By attending all classes the students will appreciate the major gods not only as separate entities, but also as a part of a pantheon (= "all the gods of a people or religion collectively"). 
At the same time, some gods may require more than one class, based on their popularity in ancient times (e.g. Zeus has eight parts, Athena, Aphrodite and Demeter have 4 parts each, while Poseidon and Hermes have three parts each, and Hera two parts) while others less popular are treated in one class (Hestia, Hephaistos, Ares). 
All classes, though, should be seen as a unit, and they will be treated as such, often using the material from a previous class on a certain god or goddess to build upon the following class on another god or goddesses. 

The length of the course as well as the number of classes on individual gods is due to the fact that this course is not dealing with only their myths (a typical mistake done by almost everybody today, even by specialists); instead, it combines myths with archaeology, art and architecture. 
This means that for each god or goddess we are going to learn how they were imagined in mythology, depicted in art, and worshipped in temples, as well as get a very good sense of ancient Greek sanctuaries and other archaeological areas.

For reasons of logical structure of the course, Hades (not technically an Olympian himself) belongs to a separate multi-week course on the Undersorld anf After-Life in ancient Greece. 
Similarly, Dionysos (a late arrival on Olympus) is part of a multi-day course on ancient Greek theatre, since the earliest theatrical performances were made to honor Dionysos.
