Excellent lectures from a skilled teacher

Elizabeth Vandiver is a superb teacher and scholar of Classics whose enthusiasm for Greek and Roman mythology is catchy. And her CD-audio lectures are terrific for listening in the car while driving, or playing in a boombox at home. It's the perfect college experience -- no grades, no tests, no tuition, no papers to write -- but the beauty of the course is there. What's great is these professors are carefully selected not only for their expertise, but for their teaching skill, so it is like the company advertises -- the best college classrooms in the world. Vandiver is an expert in mythology, Greek culture, and knows the Greek language as well, so she can explain difficult concepts such as dactylic hexameter. Almost all Teaching Company courses are top notch, and Vandiver is one of the best of the best. Thomas W.
