The Language of leGends
This Activity deals with symbols in our stories and legends. We might all speak different languages, but symbols and the images are universal.
Mythology is part of all our cultures and affects all lives. Its influence can be seen in our customs, rituals and language. Looking at mythological beliefs and major symbols can be an effective way to understand a culture.
