A survey of literary and artistic expressions of ancient Greek and Roman myths, their influence in the development of human culture, and their links with the mythologies of other peoples, including (depending on the specific course topic) Egyptians, Babylonians, Indians, Chinese, Congolese, Native Americans, and African-Americans. This course considers a different topic every term, including 'The Trojan War and its Aftermath,' 'Dionysus and Theban Myths,' and 'Goddesses and Heroines.' A full course credit, or two 0.5-credit courses, of Mythology (either 230 or 330) satisfies the General Education requirements for 'Artistic Inquiry' and 'Global Learning.' May be repeated for credit with different topics. (0.5-1.0 course.)
