Well thought out well presented. I feel I have gained a very knowledgeable and thorough understanding of both Greek and Roman mythology and their historical gods and goddesses from taking this course.

I loved this course. It covers material that is generally available to those who can afford an expensive private education. It was a great way to keep myself occupied during the coronavirus lockdown.

I really enjoyed this introduction to mythology, for both the stories themselves as well as the different theories in the analytical toolbox. Professor Struck was interesting and engaging. It has motivated me to learn more about mythology.

When I was a fresh man in college I took writing course talking about Greek and Roman literatures. This course is a nice re-visit of what I read before and did give me a deeper understanding and other perspectives in regard to the stories.

Achei o curso excelente, pude aprender sobre a visão de diversos autores que falam sobre os mitos. Porém, apenas uma sugestão, acredito que a tradução em alguns momentos esteve equivocada, mas nada que comprometesse o curso como um todo.

One of the most gratifying courses I've ever studied. Professor Struck is a great teacher and he shows his passion for the subject in a caring way. Not only he loves what he does but he is also an outstanding companion for the course.

Great course if you want to dig a bit into some big classics like The Aeneid or The Odyssey. You'll know about myths and their different ways of interpretation. If you're interested in Greek and Roman Mythology, you'll like it.

It is a very good course. Peter is a very good teacher. He tells all these stories with passion and we can feel it. I learned a lot. But is the beggining of a new world. Research, reseach, research. Thanks for the oppurtunity!

This was an excellent course which I highly recommend; insightful, entertaining, easy to follow but still in-depth analyses - and it teaches you an awful lot about the subject. Prof Struck is an excellent lecturer. Thank you!

A unique view into Greek and Roman mythology which includes various theories treating the concept of "myth". This course is not a simple re-telling of familiar stories but a critical review of Homer, Hesiod, Vergil and Ovid.

I am a psychiatrist with strong interest in psychoanalysis. I have never had a course in ancient mythology before and I am amazed, how good this was. You have to read a lot, in order to finish it, but it definitely worth it.

This course was brilliant as it helped provide the context in which many of these poems and plays would have been performed in. I find myself wanting to learn more on the topic and shall be exploring it on my own,
