I'm a huge mythology buff and currently teach popular and well-reviewed versions of this course on Outschool as individual classes and as a Flex Class. I've also studied ancient cultures at Georgetown University, including a class in Ancient Greek Religion. I'm excited to share my knowledge and love of culture and mythology with you!
