It's Greek to Me
Timely Tales in Mythology and Art
The antics of the gods and goddesses of ancient
Greece have intrigued and delighted both children
and adults for literally thousands of years. Their
stories are part of our western culture, inspiring
writers from William Shakespeare to Rick Riordan
(his Percy Jackson series has given new life to Perseus
in the 21st century). Today, it is still fun for us to
imagine the great Zeus and his brothers and sisters
sitting atop Mt. Olympus meting out rewards and
punishments to the mortals below. Join Professor
Marcus as she discusses the origins of Greek
mythology and colorfully recounts many of its
famous tales, while sharing the masterpieces of art
based on the great stories. This lecture features a
colorful PowerPoint presentation and a handout
featuring the Greek gods and goddesses.
