Since the beginning of time, people have gathered to tell stories of angry gods, harrowing journeys, cunning animals, horrible beasts, and those who have vanquished them. Fairytales, myths, and folklore help us make sense of our world and the challenges we encounter throughout our lives. Beginning with an overview of mythology and different types of folklore, we will journey with age-old heroes as they slay dragons, outwit gods, defy fate, fight hopeless battles, and outwit clever monsters with strength and courage. We’ll explore the universality and social significance of fairy tales, myths and folklore to see how these powerful tales continue to shape society even today. Fall and Spring.
