The Modern Scholar: Classical Mythology: The Romans by Professor Peter Meineck
This is a series of fourteen lectures by Professor Meineck. The narrator sounds like the Geico gecko. Emphasis is placed on history and examine texts from the era, which include mythology. It was educational but not highly interesting.
½I liked that this course wasn't the typical focus on the mythic gods of the Romans but more about the origins of their adoption of their gods as well as the mythologies of the seven kings like Coriolanus and the story of Romulus and Remus.
This course was a great systematic look at the myths of the Greeks using classical texts. Easy to understand, yet not just simple "storytelling".
