Mythology for Younger Kids - Create Your Own Epic - Spring 2026 - Registration

Meeting times: Wednesdays from 12-1 pm Pacific // 3-4 pm Eastern, January 7-March 25th

In this class, we'll continue to look at world mythology, but this time we'll be focusing on epics, including readings from the Aeneid, the Iliad, The 1,001 Nights, Gilgamesh, and others. As we make our way through these larger-than-life stories, we'll discuss what makes them similar and different, and we'll work on gradually creating our own epics--in the form of written stories, illustrations, and/or other formats of students' choosing. Support will be given along the way for students to imagine characters, quests, obstacles and powers that will define their original epics.
