Your quest starts here! Step into a world of epic battles, powerful magic, amazing art, and divine family drama. This course is your chance to do a deep dive into the foundational myths of ancient Greece. We’ll explore the thrilling stories of the Greek Pantheon, including Zeus, Athena, Poseidon, and others, and follow the legendary, monster-slaying quests of history’s greatest heroes. Students will craft laurels that connect them to the god or goddess with which they align, and make pottery inspired by classic Greek black-figure. We will create constellation maps showing Greek influence on modern space exploration, construct mini recreations of great Greek statues, and more. This class is designed for both serious mythology fans as well as young heroes who wish they could visit Camp Half Blood!
