Myth and Mythology

What is myth? What is mythology? When does classical myth begin? When does it end? Why are its characters such a source of fascination?

This course explores these and other questions, and how studying myth can deepen our understanding of ancient cultures and the postclassical cultures that keep adapting them, including our own.
