Welcome to Mythology!
Mythology is a semester long English course that can earn students a .5 literature credit. Students embark on a journey that takes them back to the Mythology of ancient Greece and Rome and to a lesser extent that of Northern Europe. Along the way, students compete in a class-wide simulation to determine if they can achieve ancient supremacy.
