Dear Students,

The following classes will go online. Most probably you have already been contacted by your instructors. If not, it will take place soon.
We are aware that the intensive course by dr. J. Wendland planned for May may not take place. Yet, do not worry. We know that some of you need it badly to graduate on time.

Yours,
Małgorzata Gajda-Łaszewska

Ancient mythologies are alive in the contemporary world and continue to inspire artists and musicians. This lecture will offer a look into the interpretations and reinterpretations of Greek mythos in contemporary popular (or not-so-popular) music. Together, we will listen to the reconstructions of ancient hymns and wonder why so people from different countries and cultures still listen to the Greek tales from thousands of years ago?
