There's no doubt that the Greek myths still have a hold on our imagination—but where are the myths to be found today, outside of the classroom. It's a frequent topic of discussion in online forums that Lost, and Battlestar Galactica exploit mythological motifs. What are your favorite modern adaptations of Greek mythology in film, television, books, music, and games. Student presentations can be formal or informal, long or short. Write to me and tell me
- your topic
- how long you'd like to talk
- if you need any AV or other assistance.
This is of course optional for all students, but it is designed to help those whose grades could use a little boost. Participating in this forum will either assure a good participation grade (50 points) or salvage an otherwise borderline grade for the course. . .
