Mythos as MythUs summer school
Location: Athens and Naxos island, Greece
Organiser: Under the auspices of the Hellenic Folklore Society and with the support of the Mediterranean Section of the American Folklore Society
The Mythos as MythUs summer school studies myth and popular narrative, from antiquity to the present, as humanity’s long-shared voice in response to times of crisis and distress that impact entire communities. In times of transition and upheaval myth and narrative have always and still provide people with a transformative therapeutic dimension. It is based to face to face interactive courses, while many sessions will take place in the open air, within cultural sites and landscapes that resonate with the myths and narratives we explore. The summer school is open to anyone with an interest in mythology, folklore, classical studies, literature, history, anthropology, and related fields.
