Anonymous said: i've just discovered your blog and i'm fucking in love with it! i love greek mythology since i was like 5 or smth. my grandma used to buy us books with the greek heroes and she was reading them to us. so it is a very fond memory of mine and it stimulated my interest in mythology. (also i'm greek btw). i wanted to ask you, are there any potential careers and uni courses that one can take in order to study/work on the field? thank you, love :) xx

This is so sweet!! I love that you’re thinking about pursuing this in higher education, that’s super admirable :)

My university had like… basically one course on Greek mythology, however there was a Comparative Literature major where I think you could write a thesis on a literary piece of your choice. Take note though that I went to a public and very STEM focused university, so I’m sure you’ll find more options if you go to like a private liberal arts college. 

As for careers, from my limited knowledge, I would say that your options are probably going to be along the lines of teaching, research, writing, museum curation, cultural exchange programs, or being involved as a historical consultant for art projects. I bet there are more options out there that I’m not aware of too!

Best of luck on your search and I hope this was helpful??
