Learner Reviews & Feedback for Greek and Roman Mythology by University of Pennsylvania

Thank you so much for this great and interesting course! It was my first course here on Coursera and I loved it so much! My sincere compliments for Professor Struck who brought myths and their explanation to life! Greetings from Holland!

One of the most gratifying courses I've ever studied. Professor Struck is a great teacher and he shows his passion for the subject in a caring way. Not only he loves what he does but he is also an outstanding companion for the course.

I really enjoyed this course, and the lectures by Professor Struck. It was interesting, engaging and informative and I'd thoroughly recommend it to anyone interested in the classics. Many thanks for this educational opportunity!

Great course if you want to dig a bit into some big classics like The Aeneid or The Odyssey. You'll know about myths and their different ways of interpretation. If you're interested in Greek and Roman Mythology, you'll like it.

It is a very good course. Peter is a very good teacher. He tells all these stories with passion and we can feel it. I learned a lot. But is the beggining of a new world. Research, reseach, research. Thanks for the oppurtunity!

Great class! The instructor was very knowledgeable and his ability to engage the listener and convey thought provoking insights, interpretations and analogies not only maintained interest but peaked curiosity about mythology.

This was an excellent course which I highly recommend; insightful, entertaining, easy to follow but still in-depth analyses - and it teaches you an awful lot about the subject. Prof Struck is an excellent lecturer. Thank you!

A unique view into Greek and Roman mythology which includes various theories treating the concept of "myth". This course is not a simple re-telling of familiar stories but a critical review of Homer, Hesiod, Vergil and Ovid.

I am a psychiatrist with strong interest in psychoanalysis. I have never had a course in ancient mythology before and I am amazed, how good this was. You have to read a lot, in order to finish it, but it definitely worth it.

Excellent introductory course. The professor is personable and engaging & the lectures are interesting. I feel like this course was the foundation that I needed to continue my independent studies of ancient Greek literature.

I really enjoyed following Prof. Struck's lessons! everything is explained clearly even for a non english speaker.

The topics covered were very interesting and it is not easy to find such a specific course in universities.

Really interesting and stimulating course, I have wanted to read some classical texts: Homer, Ovid et al. This course has given me some useful tools to carry on reading more on my own. Thank you Prof Struck and the team.

Excellent course. Well constructed, well paced - with a really interesting selection of topics from significant myths. My first non-science study course in quite a while! Really enjoyed the last few weeks. Thank you.

A very interesting and through course on mythology. I thoroughly enjoyed the instructor method of delivery and his interesting insights as we delve deeper into myths and their implications for us, humans of 21st century.

thank you!

I am teaching mithology for elementry' middle and high school students for many years now. you made me understand deeper and made my knowledge broader.

it was great to have time foe this during the corona time.

This course is really enjoyable, Prof. Struck is really entertaining and its obvious he really loves theaching. I can recommend everyone who is intrested about the antique literature or/and the ancient mythic stories.

Exceptional opportunity to develop a deeper grasp of the meaning and many interpretations behind some of the most famous classical myths and stories. I cannot recommend it enough to anybody interested in the classics.

El curso es excelente, la dedicatoria de quien lo conduce es de un nivel alto y la exposición de las clases muy bien organizada, detallada y entendible. Es un curso intenso con mucha información y muy recomendable.

Awesome course! I really loved the professor and the range of topics that this course covers. I'm so glad that I decided to do this course in all honesty. It is truly so interesting and I just loved it so much!!!

Great course, I really enjoy it. Mr Struck was a great speaker and he made the topic interesting and very informative. Thanks to his interpretation I see much more in the literature that we read in this course.

The course was brilliant. It was incredibly in-depth and honestly, the best part of it was Prof. Struck. He's amazing! He brought the mythological and literary world of antiquity right to us. I loved the class.

The course gives you the knowledge to analyze myths with different conceptual tools and how myths are important in any culture. The professor explanations are very clear and the reading material is very useful.

I really enjoyed the breakdown of the myths chosen and I think they represent some of the best stories each of these cultures has to offer. Thank you so much for such an enjoyable way to learn this material.

I really enjoyed this course and would highly recommend it! Even though I have taken lessons in Ancient Greek and Latin in high school, I learned a lot of new things and new ways to look at classical myths.
