ZOOM-Gods and Monsters: The Story of Mythology

Join us as we explore some of the world’s great myths with a focus on the gods and heroes who create or fight remarkable foes, both natural and invented.  Whirlpools, dragons, and towering beasts are among the many challenges that humans and deities must overcome.  Because these myths have become the basis for the archetypes of literature, art, and psychology, their importance to modern culture is immeasurable.
