- Synopsis
- A Journey through Greek Mythology is a guidebook intended to accompany students in an introductory Greek mythology course. This guidebook serves as a practical and versatile introduction to the study of the major Greek gods and heroes, as it lays the groundwork for an exploration of the representation, interpretation, and influence of the classical Greek myths. Using this guidebook, students are able to consider how the gods and heroes functioned as objects of deep religious awe and reverence for the ancient Greeks, and yet at the same time how they were portrayed as colorful, unpredictable, subjectively "anthropomorphic" characters in the popular art and literature of classical antiquity. The guidebook offers an opportunity for students to investigate how archetypal figures and narratives emerge in Greek mythology and how these patterns develop in different representational media and literary genres. The guidebook also encourages students to discover how the Greek myths continue to influence our contemporary culture today.
