Classical Mythology
Hercules! The Minotaur! Mars and Venus! The Trojan horse, the golden age, Pandora’s box…. This lecture class leads students through some highlights from the ancient tales, and how those stories have been told and interpreted so fruitfully for so long and around the world. Professor Wynne’s version will give some extra emphasis to how ancient philosophers, scientists, and even Christian theologians, used the myths to help make sense of life. -
