Elizabeth Vandiver's lectures focus on why we create myth, and what we can infer and deduce from from the historical and contextual references within classical mythology. Through the lectures she does outline several examples of specific myths, traces ancestry of both fictitious and historic persons, and the psychology of myth-making. This was all fun and educational material, but the clear take-away was that I need to read some works by Ovid. He was the Oscar Wilde of ancient Rome and a total badass.

This was a fascinating set of lectures. Very well paced. Not overloading the user with information, but at the same time in readability informative .

Absolutely five stars. Even though I knew all the stories already, the insight Elizabeth Vandiver brings into them is accurate, unique and invaluable.
