2021 CLA204H5 Introduction to Classical Mythology: Hymns to Greek gods, heroes, and other mythical beings
In the Summer (F) term of 2021, students taking CLA204H5 Introduction to Classical Mythology with Prof. Mareile Haase assumed the role of mythographers and wrote their own hymns in praise of a god, hero, or mythical being of their choice. While their creations are inspired by the structure, organization and formulae of extant Greek hymns of the Archaic period, the unique voice and approach of each author shines through and often highlights unexpected aspects of the hymn's addressee.
