Greek and Roman Mythology

Korshub Take

This University of Pennsylvania course treats mythology as more than old stories — it's a lens into the history, art, and values of the ancient world. It's a foundational humanities course, open to anyone with curiosity rather than prior classical training.

Beyond the myths themselves, it draws connections into art history, ethics, and how these narratives shaped Western culture — useful grounding for anyone studying literature, history, or the humanities more broadly.

• Major myths and figures of Greek and Roman tradition
• Connections to ancient art and history
• Cultural and ethical themes in classical storytelling

With 280,672 students enrolled, it's a well-established way to explore the classics without needing a background in ancient languages or formal history coursework.
