Introduction to Mythology Western Literature November 2, 2015

What is mythology? O Myth: (noun) A traditional story, especially one concerning the early history of a people or explaining some natural or social phenomenon, and typically involving supernatural beings or events. O Denotation: A type of story that explains a phenomenon. O Connotation: Myths are usually false. THIS IS NOT THE DEFINITION THAT WE ARE USING TO DISCUSS MYTHOLOGY.

Mythology Journal (this response should be with your MUGS and other journals) In your journal, answer the following questions in complete sentences: 1. What does “mythology” mean to you? 2. What is your favorite myth? Why? 3. What different Creation stories do you know of? Explain the origin of each myth (as defined on the earlier slide).

What is the influence of mythology today? Make a list of the mythological allusions that we see in our current society. (i.e. company logos, expressions, slogans, etc.) Small Group Challenge: Write down a list of all of the mythological allusions you can think of in our society. The winning group earns an extra day pass upon my return.

The Influence of Mythology O The Greek and Roman myths that you will study in this course have influenced much of literature, film, pop culture, and society. O You may notice that many companies market themselves with allusions to various Greek/Roman myths. O Let’s explore these connections to appreciate the influence of mythology.
