LIT 229 - World Mythology
This guide will provide links to library resources, services, and databases that support Global Campus students' research for this course.
Primary Sources
The primary sources you will incorporate into this project are the myths from your chosen cultures that feature your chosen archetype. The following databases are a selection of the library's databases, primarily ebook databases, where you can find myths. These databases will also contain secondary sources that discuss the myths and analyze them, so you will need to carefully evaluate each source before you choose to use it for your project.
