Ever fascinating, ancient Greek mythology still inspires multimedia creative expressions. We will see why as we thematically explore a diverse array of delightful ancient tales. First, creation tales of the earth and deities, gender, and generational conflicts that end with the god Zeus as supreme ruler. Then on to particular deities and their importance in Greek ritual and culture. Next, the hero tales grouped into dramatic epic clusters—the culture heroes Herakles, Theseus, Jason and the Argonauts, Oedipus, and the Trojan War cycle. These tales treat virtually every aspect of human relationships and activities, revealing how the Greeks perceived them and illuminating modern ideas and works.
