What are myths? How are mythical heroes portrayed in ancient and modern stories? What are the contemporary adaptations of well-known mythical stories? These were the questions that were answered during the interactive first session of the workshops organized by Partium Christian University. Teaching this topic has been a great pleasure for me; the participating students were so motivated and engaged in the discussions that they also reignited my passion for teaching.  From Percy Jackson to Aquaman and Wonder Woman, we shared our ideas on myths’ adaptations, and concluded that myths will always stay with us, even if in constantly new forms.
