What people are saying
greek and roman mythology
This short course is a wonderful introduction to Greek and Roman Mythology.
I'm thankful that Coursera offered this subject since I'm very interested in Greek and Roman Mythology but I've never had the chance to formally attend a course regarding it.
An outstanding course for an introduction into Greek and Roman Mythology.
Not only does the course reading cover Greek and Roman mythology, but you are also taught tools to use to analyse these myths.
I enjoyed Professor Struck's lectures and learned many new things about Greek and Roman Mythology.
This course is an excellent introduction to Greek and Roman Mythology.
And he don't have the best diction anyway...but he seems to be a great content producer, I don't finish the course but stay longer than I expect at the beginning, listen to something like half of the course Very interesting introductory course on not just Greek and Roman mythology, but also on its themes and the history of subsequent cultures' analyses of these themes.

video lectures
The video lectures are concise and engaging.
The choice of essays is excellent, the video lectures are very interesting and engaging, quizzes are thought provoking.
It includes extremely interesting video lectures, where the prof. doesn't talk down to students.
His passion for what he does really comes through in the video lectures.
Highly recommended :) I can't wait to click on the new video lectures each week and see the "hello mythologists" greeting, knowing it's the start of another series of engaging talks by Dr.
* How the course works * Each week you have set reading to complete, several video lectures to watch (some weeks only 7 lectures, others as many as 10 plus the occasional "Screenside chat") plus a multiple choice quiz to take.
The video lectures are not only educational, but very entertaining too.

Thanks to Prof Struck and his team!
The Professor and his team are knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
Struck and his team have done a wonderful job of creating a very worthwhile online course in Greek Mythology.
Professor Struck and his team prepared a course that brings together the myths (through ancient sources), the tools to analyse them (structuralism, functionalism, psychoanalysis, myth&ritual...;), the kinds of writing (epic, tragedy...), the style of the writers (Homer, Hesiod, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Ovid...) and curious perceptions and interpretations of details that otherwise would pass unnoticed.
Struck and his team for a great class!
Very enjoyable course taught by an excellent lecturer Dr. Peter Struck and his team.
Struck and his team are terrific.
I particularly like his active involvement of his team in the live sessions and forums--it was quite useful to have an archaeologist offering up her observations.
