The cultures of ancient Greece and Rome left the world with a treasure trove of stories and legends. These are timeless tales filled with all-powerful gods like Venus and Apollo, fearless heroes like Hercules, as well as mighty Amazon warriors and deadly monsters. Today we refer to this lore as classical mythology.&nbsp;
Join us on Tuesday, October 13 at 12pm when docent Mike Madrid will share how these myths inspired artists for thousands of years and are brought to life within the collections of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.&nbsp;

As a writing project grows, the challenge is no longer simply getting words onto the page. The challenge is keeping the work accurate, coherent, recognizable, and faithful to what you intended to say.
Join us on Thursday, October 15 at 11am when Bridget Burke explains how to step into the role of creative director and editor. You will learn how to guide a longer project, protect your writing style, compare versions, organize feedback, keep track of important decisions, check facts and privacy, and prevent repeated revisions from carrying the work away from its original purpose.&nbsp;
By the end of the class, you will have a practical editorial system for managing larger writing projects and a clearer sense of when a piece needs another revision and when it is finally time to put down the pen.
