Can the curriculum be used with classical myths, such as “The Odyssey?
The curriculum focuses on the pattern of the heroic journey and the growth that takes place in the journey process, but it works very well with the classical hero myths. One of the curriculum’s strengths is that it presents a range of journey possibilities, from the traditional journeys taken by mythological heroes through the more psychological journeys taken in modern literature and film. The journey pattern presented in the curriculum can become a bridge connecting the themes of classical myth with the challenges we face in a modern, technological world.
