Description Mythology Diploma  Mythology comes from the Greek word mythos, which means 'the people's story, and logos which stands for 'speech' or 'word'. As the story suggests, it involves the study of fables and tales, often sacred, and interpretations of these stories. These stories are often culturally relevant and are referred to as myths. They mainly deal with various elements of the human condition like good and evil, the concept of suffering, the origins of humans, how places are given names, cultural values, animals, cultural traditions, the meaning that life and death hold, life after death, and God or dogs. These myths reflect the values and beliefs of the subjects of a particular culture to whom they belong.  Elearncollege offers a Mythology Diploma course that introduces various definitions of the term 'mythology' given by scholars. It provides ways in which the multiple tales about deities, heroes and monsters can be approached. It differentiates myths from other story-telling stories, like fairy tales and fables, and opens the discussion on the relationship between myths and history.  Myths of a cultural group tell stories about their ancestors, the origins of the world and humans, the gods, heroes with superhuman powers that a god has bestowed, and other supernatural beings like nymphs and mermaids and satyrs. They also include descriptions of the origins and nuances of customs practised for long periods. They may also be seen as attempts to explain certain natural events like sunrise, sunset, the moon cycle and seasons, and thunder and lightning storms. Myths are integral to civilization and are found all over the world. A belief framework similar to the idea of 'mythology' existed long before humans could communicate these beliefs in language. Carl Jung was a proponent of the view that myths are an essential element of our psyche that desires to discover order and meaning in this world that often presents itself as meaningless and filled with chaos.  The Mythology Diploma course offered by Elearncollege analyses the role played by women in past societies and looked at the representation of women in myths. It talks about how motherhood is portrayed, the classical idea of females, and the concept of women being described as victims and villains. The Mythology Diploma course deals with mythology's ideas like death and love and offers explanations. The course will give you a chance to learn about the most remarkable love stories and the meaning that these stories hold through the stories of Apollo and Aphrodite, Psyche and Eros, Eurydice and Orpheus, and the story of Pygmalion. Through the Mythology Diploma course, you will dive deep into tales and myths of ancient times, where you will be introduced to various situations and characters that will leave you astonished. You will be able to uncover the myths' meanings by gaining an insight into why they have such incredulous longevity. The Mythology Diploma course will prove appealing to those interested in mythology and history, as well as any individual who desires to know more about the human condition, as that would be revealed through the study of myths that have remained relevant to this day.  What you will learn   1:Introduction to Mythology  2:The Mythmakers in Ancient Greece and Rome  3:The Origin of Universe  4:The Original Gods and Goddesses  5:Folklore of the Mount Olympus  6:The Lesser Gods in Mythology  7:Some Mythical Creatures You Need to Know  8:The Greatest Heroes of Classical Mythology  9:The Trojan War and the Creation of Rome  10:Mythology in the Modern World  Course Outcomes After completing the course, you will receive a diploma certificate and an academic transcript from Elearn college.
