We began our time together today talking about how myth has made its way into our modern-day story cannon in the form of ghost stories. We read through work from Kathryn Tucker Windham and discussed how the oral tradition of passing story from generation to generation is still alive and well even in our society.
We also began our study of Greek and Roman Mythology to prepare ourselves to start reading The Odyssey. The first quiz on The Odyssey will be on Monday, September 12th.
