REL 2340. Classical Mythology (3 credits)


Myth is a central category of religious studies. This course will survey the mythology of ancient Greece and Rome. It will also address (in a more limited way) the mythologies of ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt. Though the course will focus primarily on a survey of the actual mythic traditions themselves, some attention will also be paid to the function of myth, theories of myth, and the impact of classical mythology on subsequent centuries of art and literature.
