教育目標

This course introduces both Greek and Roman mythology which form the basis of Western Literature and which continue to influence modern literature. Both myths and adaptations of myths in modern form will be read and studied. Various aspects of myths will be discussed. You will learn to approach myths critically and at the same time strengthen your skills in reading, analyzing and discussing narratives. This elective course (2 credits) provides a basis for literature classes taken in later years. Your general English skills should improve as well. Another important and ambitious goal of this class is that you will enjoy reading myths as well as learn to understand yourself and the world around you better. Reading is delightful and over the course of this semester we will hopefully come to form a community of readers who are willing to share ideas and help one another understand. Active participation is essential to the success of this class.
