Class Experience

This course examines emotionally rich, lesser-known Greek myths and the themes they express—such as xenia, hubris, transformation, identity, and divine interactions. Each week focuses on a different category of minor myths (nymphs, underworld figures, transformation stories, etc.) and encourages student-led discussion and analysis of the cultural meanings behind these tales.

Learning Outcomes

  • Analyze themes such as transformation, morality, identity, and divine justice in lesser-known myths

  • Explain how Greek myths expressed social values like xenia and family obligations

  • Compare lesser-known heroes and figures to epic archetypes

  • Describe ways gods interact with mortals in less familiar stories

  • Identify how lesser-known myths contribute to broader mythological narratives and modern references
