Step into the world of gods, heroes, and epic adventures! In this class, we will journey through Edith Hamilton’s Mythology, a classic living book that brings to life the myths of Ancient Greece, Rome, and the Norse world (a level 3 book from the Real Education classical education Charlotte Mason model). 

Together we will read timeless stories of Prometheus, Perseus, Hercules, the Trojan War, and more. Each class will be filled with lively discussion as students narrate, reflect on, and debate the meaning of the myths. They will be encouraged to develop and defend their own ideas as we consider the big questions these stories raise—about courage, pride, fate, and friendship—and how mythology has shaped history, art, and literature. In addition to class discussion, students will write weekly essays to deepen their thinking, practice clear expression, and strengthen their ability to communicate in writing. By the end of the course, students will not only know the great tales of gods and heroes but will also have practiced the art of narration, thoughtful discussion, and persuasive writing.
