It's been a while since I've taken in any of The Great Courses, and this one really added to my current study of Greek myth. I only watched the first nine (of 60) lectures, as these covered the Greek and Roman periods. In the perfect world I would have continued through the entire series, but sometimes you have to pick and choose.
Dr. McClymond did a tremendous job presenting the world of Greek and Roman mythology, providing both a wide perspective, going deep on select narratives and subjects.
Now I've moved on to another 60 lecture series, this one on physics, virtually a tabula rasa for me. As my wife knows, I took the bare minimum of science classes in both high school and college. Now it's time to make up for that loss, and so far I'm enjoying it thoroughly!
