This website is designed to be used as a resource for the Classical Mythology class taught at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

If you are not enrolled in my class at UWM, feel free to enjoy the site!

This is a one-credit class which meets once a week for 15 weeks. There will be two midterm tests (the 5th and 10th meetings) and a final exam (the 15th meeting), thus there are 12 weekly sessions devoted to a survey and discussion of the material, organized in the 12 sections with their links below.
