Presented By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

The Knowledge Seekers Series: The Power of Myth in Our Lives: Part 2--OLLI (50+) Study Group

Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at U-M

This class meets Mondays, January 20 - February 24.


This class is a continuation of Part 1, but if you did not participate in Part 1 you are welcome to join. We will explore myth by blending the insights of two scholars: anthropologist Joseph Campbell and Latin and Greek expert Elizabeth Vandiver. Mr. Campbell views myth from the perspective of anthropology, psychology and comparative mythology, while Ms. Vandiver discusses myth in terms of the lore of Greek and Roman gods and goddesses. By studying their ideas, we can learn how myths impact our lives. Dr. Galant studied classical Greek and Latin for many years and continues to be fascinated by Greek and Roman history and culture.
