Myths of the Ancient Greeks

Join us for a 5 week overview of Classical Mythology. Classical Mythology provides the knowledge necessary for the understanding and appreciating our cultural heritage. Language, literature, painting, art in all of it's forms, classical and modern music, Grand Opera, medicine, science, Business and Advertising, Psychology, Archaeology and Anthropology are all interconnected through Classical Mythology. To study Classical Mythology is to turn our eyes back to the ancient world in order to see anew our own modern world. Let's make this fun and informative as we talk about principal stories and understand the variety of human experiences as reflected in mythology.
