ENG 191 - Myths of the World

Institution:

Camden County College

Subject:

Description:

Myths are among the oldest, most powerful, and most entertaining forms of literature. Participants in this course study a wide range of myths within and beyond the western tradition. The subject matter includes both the Greek and Roman myths that form a necessary background to much western literature and art and variations of those stories told in cultures uninfluenced by western civilization. Comparisons of myths from around the world demonstrate that very different but equally valid patterns of thought have been applied to answering similar questions about the human condition in a wide variety of times and places. Readings include myths from Celtic, Germanic, African, Asian, and native American traditions. Lecture ( 45.00) Prerequisites: ENG-101 Corequisites: ENG-102
