Course description: From Marvel to Hollywood to fantasy to literature, ancient myth weaves its way through modern life. But what were these myths like in their original form? What role did they play in the ancient world? How can we use them to understand ancient cultures? What lessons and themes can we still apply today? This class is intended to introduce students broadly to ancient mythology. We will dive into all the messy weirdness of ancient mythology, from heroic quests to resurrection stories, to gods behaving very badly. We will explore themes such as human-divine relationships, gods getting angry and punishing people, origin stories, sexuality and myth, and quests and adventure stories through five mytho-cultural groups: the Mesopotamians, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, and Celts. You will then complete group research projects and presentations focused on a different mytho-cultural group: Norse/Germanic, Persian, culture of choice within African or African Diaspora groups, Chinese, Japanese, Indian (Hindu), culture of choice within the Indigenous Americas, Polynesian (Hawaiian, Samoan, Māori, Tongan), and Indigenous Australian.
