Eddie Dobson, Mondays 2 - 4 pm
Sonoran Room, 10/1, 10/8, 10/15, 10/22, 10/29
This class will explore the role mythology has played throughout the ages. Mythology was how much of the world used to be entertained, learned history, understood their religion, and taught their children how to behave. The foremost American mythologist, Joseph Campbell, will also be discussed. His work covers many aspects of human experience. He was influenced by James Joyce, Thomas Mann, Picasso, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche and Freud. In turn, Campbell influenced many movies, including the Lion King and the Star Wars films of George Lucas.
