Legends Unleashed: Exploring the Wonders of Greek Mythology

Studying Greek mythology immerses students in a world of fascinating characters and timeless stories, exploring the natural world alongside the ancient Greeks themselves. Together, we will work to answer questions such as: What is a myth? How do these stories about gods and mortals explain the human condition? Are these just entertaining fantasies or do they contain important lessons? We will read and discuss excerpts from D’Aulaires’ Book of Greek Myths and delve into the meaning of these captivating stories that have inspired countless literary and artistic works.
