In our world of entertainment, monsters are everywhere. They frighten us, intrigue us, and disorient us. But monsters can also inform us. Our monsters, and our gods, tell us a lot about ourselves and how we process the world. In fact, the difference between gods and monsters, heroes and villains, is a matter of perspective. In this course, we turn our gaze to ancient religious traditions-the Bible, Mesopotamia, Egypt, Norse, Greek, Hindu, Buddhist, and others-and explore the complex relationship between gods, monsters, and humanity
