Greek and Roman Mythology
Class Continues: Spring | Registration opens Saturday, August 29, 2026 9:30 AM MDT
Have you ever wondered why an Atlas is called an Atlas? From where does the word, “tantalize,” come? Why would Nike name their products, “Nike?” Do you know someone who has the Midas touch? What is a Sisyphean task? We are exposed daily through brands, advertisements, literature, and other cultural cues to ancient Greek and Roman mythology. Learn the difference between myth, legend, and folktales. How was the world created according to the ancient Greeks? Why are these stories relevant to us today—or are they? Come have some fun with us as we explore these ancient gods and the myths that surround them.
