Classical Mythology by Elizabeth Vandiver

informative medium-paced

5.0

This is probably a bit biased, as I went into this lecture series already knowing I would love the content... but I absolutely loved Classical Mythology and it's one of my favorite Great Courses so far. Greek Mythology is my favorite - there's something about it that is familiar and fascinating to me. Classical Mythology focuses on Greek and Roman myths ("classical" meaning the classical era, not "oh, that's a classic!"). I know a decent amount of Greek mythology, but Vandiver still managed to teach a lot of new things and hold my attention through the entire lecture series. I appreciated her observations and discussions, and enjoyed this course as a whole. If you're interested in Greek mythology in particular (Roman mythology is limited, but there's a good reason for that), I highly recommend this!
