Mythology and Modern Life: A Marriage
Lifelong Learning | This program has been canceled
What connections do myths have to our everyday lives? Why are they important today? How can mythology help us navigate the vagaries and challenges of life? This course will explore the contributions of mythology to contemporary society as well as the impact of the universal themes that transcend time and cultures. Going beyond familiar Greek and Roman mythology, this course will look at a wide range of world mythologies from the Middle East, northern Europe, and the British Isles to the Far East, Africa, and the Americas.
