CLA 1100 CLASSICAL MYTHOLOGY

From Percy Jackson to O Brother Where Art Thou?, from Harry Potter to Clash of the Titans, the world of classical mythology continues to shape our cultural landscape. In this course we will seek, first, to understand the belief systems of ancient Mediterranean societies and, second, to consider how and why ancient stories – stories of gods and mortals, monsters and heroes, quests and voyages – have captured the minds and fascinated the imaginations of others for over two millennia.
