Harvard University recently announced a folklore and mythology course inspired by the epic fantasy drama ‘Game of Thrones’. The course will be titled “The Real Game of Thrones: From Modern Myths to Medieval Models”. The course will focus on studying George R R Martin’s book series Fire and Ice and HBO TV Show based on those books.

As per the TIME report, the course will analyze how the show adapts and reflects the history and culture of medieval world of Eurasia from c.400 to 1500 CE.

A set of archetypal characters of Game of Thrones will be explored including the King, the good wife, the second son, the adventurer etc. It will contain distinct analogues in medieval history, religion, legend and literature.

It is reported that Sean Gilsdorf, a medieval historian and Administrative Director and Lecturer on Medieval Studies will be teaching the course along with Richa Kirakosian, an assistant professor of German and the study of religion.

Game of Thrones nicely dramatises some of the fundamental things which are going on in the medieval courts. While reading some medieval verse epics, students feel that the verses resemble the show. However, it is the other way round. It is the duty of teachers and professors to use the interest of students in the show and encourage them to go deeper in the medieval history, religion, culture and literature.

Meanwhile, the seventh season of Game of Thrones will be released on July 16 in the US.
