EGMT 1510: Mythmaking - What do myths do for us and how do they do it?

Instructor: 
Myths and stories have the power to shape our sense of ourselves, our world, and the meaning of life; we tell, retell, and reshape them in order to discover who we are, explore the choices we face, and imagine how we should live. This course explores some enduring myths, the artistry of their ancient forms and the creativity of their modern appearances in films, art, and even on our Grounds—and asks, what do myths do for us and how do they do it?
