Greek Mythology

[FireBrand]

I studied classics for GCSE and if you want to do greek mythology you need to look at some of the literature such as the odyssey and the Illiad. If you want some shorter stuff then look at some of the Penguin Classics collection as they tend to cover a wide range of mythology also there are some is some great stuff concerning greek culture in those stories.

 

That was something I really wanted to do for my GCSE's but it wasn't an option, our school had one year of it and that was that. It was always a subject I loved and the fact that Greek tragidy covers about every social taboo means you would never get bored of the issues raised with the subject.

 

From my initial love of Greek Mytholigy I found myself really getting into English and British folklore which is just as brilliant.

I just remembered another page that I have found useful on the course.
