My Palaestra - Homeschooling in Livonia, Michigan

Class Information

Great Legends

Stories are as important to human thought and imagination as language itself. History has left us with a treasure trove of stories, legends, and parables that are still an essential part of cultural literacy because they tell us something important about what it means to be human. In this class, we will talk about Aesop’s fables, Odysseus, King Arthur, Robin Hood, and more!
