Professor Robin Mitchell-Boyask
robin@temple.edu

This course will aim for an overview of the major myths of Greek and Roman antiquity; this includes the appropriate gods, heroes and heroines, and the stories these cultures told about them. This course also examines the nature and social function of mythology, studying a number of different ancient and modern theories which attempt to account for this seemingly universal phenomenon. Another area of consideration will be the legacy of classical mythology in modern art and literature, including popular culture. Although this course does not study every single ancient myth, this course will provide you will the tools to understand other myths, both ancient and modern, that you encounter.
