Literature is an essential part of a classical education, but where does one start? With the ‘building blocks of stories’. The Great Books are made up of these building blocks and understanding them is the key to understanding authors like Dante and Shakespeare. Our two summer classes cover myths and fairy tales, two of the most important of these building blocks.
Join us for Myths:
Why did medieval Christians love the pagan myths? Why were medieval monks willing to risk their lives to save these works? Because they knew something that we modern Christians have forgotten.
We read the Old Testament knowing that these ancient stories point to the coming of Christ. In this week-long class on myths, you will be amazed to discover that ALL ancient stories point to Christ.
