Great+Gods+Almighty!

 **Welcome to Great Gods Almighty! **  **World Mythology ** =**Facilitator: Mrs. Rouse**=



**In this series of seminars, we will read and discuss the mythologies of various lands. Mythologies exist in every culture around the world. Many of these stories were created before writing was developed. They were passed down orally through lessons and storytellings; therefore, you may find several variations of the same myth. While myths were entertaining, most served other more important functions in ancient cultures. Let us begin our exploration of world mythology with the definition of myth, their role or function in ancient societies, and archetypical myths. **  **Click on the seals/link below to go to PBS.com's web page //In Search of Myths & Heroes//.
