FYE 1310 Mythology thru the Lens of Big History
Comparative readings of selections from world mythologies are used to re-examine the Big History narrative as told in traditional myths, looking both at the content of the myths themselves and at the anthropological and historical sources of the myths. Questions considered include how and why myths widely separated by time and geography can be so similar to each other, what value myths still retain in the modern world, and how mythology can both shape and express our world view.
