Learn about the Greek myths and gods, and their associated mythology. We'll talk about the big things, like Kronos and him eating all the children before his wife got him, Hercules doing his Twelve Tasks, etc. We'll also talk about other things. Like the things Zeus did in his spare time, and that time Demeter accidentally ate someone's shoulder, or why Sisyphus was sentenced to rolling that stone up that hill for all eternity. Also learn about some of the literature these myths inspired. Basically, you'll get an introduction to the myths and he literature they inspired.
