Class Debrief

Have you ever wondered which classes to take but wanted to know more? Well, here you are.  Each week we will look at a different class offered at Camp Half-Blood. 

Today's class is Myths and Legends

Myths. They’re no children’s stories. The complex world of mythology might feel almost as confusing and endless as Daedalus’s Labyrinth, and the names and places seem to go on an infinite list. But it is the world we live in, in so we should know about what came before us, who went on what quest, and how to not follow the same paths as some of our more tragic tales.

 

Luckily for us demigods, there’s a class just for you! Myths and Legends is a fascinating, mysterious, and generally, quite an amazing course. Join Luna Umbra- the Queen of Night, Darkness, Dragons, and Fire- or at least, that’s what she’s known as.

Now, this woman is certainly one to admire. Sure, she might be a little scary, but she is an amazing teacher! 

 

She will teach you with a mysterious allure she is highly reputed for while leaving you wanting to know more about the fascinating world of Myths and Legends. Alongside her stands her assistant instructor, the lovely daughter of Aphrodite, Stella Choi.

 

Instructor Umbra shall journey you throw the darkest myths and even the few with happy endings! You’ll cover the gods, the creatures, the heroes, and all their adventures, and some, you might even get to tag along with them. And not just greek myths- a whole new series featuring Egyptian and Norse Mythology!

 

For the homework, you can learn even more, write stories, and have lots of creative freedom while getting to know about all those who came before you and the lessons they can teach us. For example, Arachne taught us to restrain our pride. Be humble, or you could be turned into a spider by Athena, or something of the sorts. Atlas showed how even the strongest Titan could be tricked into holding the sky, and Icarus showed us the importance of listening before, you know, you jump off a cliff with wings on.

 

Anyway, my dear demigods, good luck to you all. This class is both important, captivating, and fun, so don’t miss out on Myths and Legends!
