Myth, Ritual, and Worship in Ancient Greece   

Are you interested in the intersection of Greek mythology and cult rituals that defined religious worship in ancient Greece? Through lecture and group discussion explore questions including:

  • How did the majority of ancient Greeks understand and culturally interpret a variety of natural phenomena?
  • How did polis ritual activities differ from domestic ones?
  • What was the purpose of personal prayer and animal sacrifice?

By examining the complex interactions of a variety of sacred spaces; shrines, temples, and oracular sites, students will examine the phenomenological nature of ancient religious practices. 

Open to students 16 years of age and older.
