Winter 2013CLAS 104 OnlineUniversity of Waterloounderstanding of the world, and Classical mythology in particular has continued to influence western art andliterature up to the present day. This class begins with an examination of the ancient Greek understanding of thecreation of the world, the pantheon of gods, and the creation of humanity.

Attentionwill be given to both the religious practices and the myths that surround the gods in the Greek and Roman traditions.Course ConventionsThis course is organized by Weeks. Each Week consists of 1-2 Modules. During most weeks there is an OnlineQuiz. As well, there are a number of small group discussions.
