Cultural memory and identity are constructed through narratives, the 
overlapping of history and myth.  Whether spoken, written, filmed, or 
compressed into a building or sculpture, these narratives maintain and 
conserve culture, as well as open up possibilities for "counternarratives" and 
cultural innovation.  In this course, on site in Greece, the home of some of 
the most fabled ancient myths and monuments in world history, students will 
explore the intersections of myths, monumental structures, and movies, perhaps 
the most effective mythmaking medium of modernity.
