EarthDiverse: Getting to know the Real Greek Gods
EarthDiverse is pleased to announce its newest course in our History/Philosophy/Mythology series: "Getting to Know the Real Greek Gods", beginning on Thursday 19 October 2023, 7:00-8:30pm, available both in-person at our Hamilton Centre or on-line via Zoom.
You’ve probably met the Greek gods in popular fiction and films, but…have you ever wondered how the Ancient Greeks really worshiped their gods? In this class, we’ll go back in time and get to know the real Greek gods.
As we shift through archaeology, art and literature, you’ll learn: how to identify the Olympian gods, how to build an altar, how to ‘feed’ a god, the working of feasts and festivals, what to do (and not to do) inside a Greek sanctuary, and how the Greek gods became Roman (…it’s complicated).
Check out this and all of our other arts, humanities and language courses on our webpage.
