@ClassicsBook really enjoyed the discussion and the book! Thanks 😊
That's it for our discussion tonight! Thank you so much for joining in and special thanks to those who submitted questions - some lovely ones in there tonight (please do fess up for credit!)
I really liked Haynes’ use of modern retellings...that would be a good way in for a lot of students.
Going back to the provenance of myths is something I’ll try to do more of e.g. I didn’t realise that the Gorgons started off as just heads! I’d just assumed that depictions of the disembodied Medusa was a result of events in the story.
Your classics action-hero fascination I think. We still do it now, just look at movies like Die Hard (not jibing, it's an excellent set of films!).
I loved reading about Penthesilea...she was amazing!
Also I know it was just focussed on Greek myth, but Camilla is a absolute legend and has to sneak in under the radar!
Definitely. Planning an enrichment unit focusing on women of mythology. Pandora is a brilliant example. I ‘knew’ the traditional story but I loved discovering the complexity of that myth. That’s the journey I want to take my students on.
I really want to do a unit on the Amazons, maybe mixed with some stuff on the archaeological evidence from Scythia.
Exactly. I loved Lancelyn Green’s books as a child but had no idea about complexity of some of these stories. I also think the obsession with mythological heroes over the years has meant women are marginalised.
Fourth and final question: WIll Pandora's Jar change how you teach mythology? #ClassicsBook
