What is Agora Online School?
Learn about us
This online space is created with the intention of bringing the huminities into the tech space. The objective is for students and teachers to communicate and work together. At your own pace, either with the life classes courses coming or with the recorded lectures. With different levels and exploring a wide range within the humanities' studies.
Moved by passion for learning and for what makes us humans: art, literature, history etc. There is space still for humanities in our tech driven lives, space for passion and for poetry, so stay tuned!

We are on the early stages of this process, and as of today the whole school is run by one person: Me, Inés Paris, the coder and creator of this space.

The impact of Greek Mythology
Greek Mythology is far from outdated or finished! from the famous and constant book retellings, to movies and inspiration that seems far removed from the original but alas! it is not! Learning about these myths will give you a deeper understanding of all the cultural products we consume and it is fun, because let me tell you... these stories are a lot of gossip and intregue.
