Mythology Projects
Students in the Mythology class have discovered that many myths, even when they come from varying places and time periods, ask similar questions, such as: Why do human beings exist? How were we, and the world, created? What is our purpose here? What is the cause of suffering? Why is there death, and how should we think about it and live in the face of it? Does fate or free will dictate most events? What does it mean to lead a “good” life? What does it mean to be “happy”? In our presentation, we will synthesize, together, many of the ways various myths have attempted to answer these questions, and we will also put Christianity in conversation with what we have studied in order to analyze how several mythologies anticipate Christ.
