Notes
- Greek and Roman mythology: Who hasn¿t heard of Oedipus, fated to kill his father and marry his mother? Of Aphrodite (Venus), goddess of Love (actually, sexual desire from the classical Greek point of view), of Zeus and his thunderbolts or Hades (his brother), god of the underworld? Yet, do we really understand what the ancient myths mean, why they continue to haunt us, or how they have influenced Euro-American culture? The goal of this course is to answer these questions and encounter the vibrancy and meaning of this ancient religion.
