Although some of the ideas contained in the book are complex and could be seen as demanding, the authors have been careful to keep the style straightforward and the language is accessible rather than ‘academic’. Wherever possible, new ideas and concepts are supported by concrete examples. The authors’ intention is to communicate clearly some of the complexity and subtlety of effective and reflective teaching.
Greek Myths Audio
Greek mythology is the body of stories belonging to the Ancient Greeks concerning their gods and heroes, the nature of the world and the origins and significance of their own cult and ritual practices. Modern scholars refer to the myths and study them in an attempt to throw light on the religious and political institutions of Ancient Greece and on the Ancient Greek civilization, and to gain understanding of the nature of myth-making itself.
