Option 1: Write two 600-1000ish word essays on both of the topics given below, using only class resources (i.e. your textbooks, class notes, & pdfs in ANGEL):

Religion: We have seen that Herodotus followed the system of koros-hubris-ate. Examine two of the following with this in mind:

1. Creon in the Antigone,
2. one or more of the male characters (e.g. the magistrate, the male chorus, or Cinesias) in the Lysistrata, and
3. the Athenians in Thucydides' Melian Dialogue coupled with the outcome of the war.

Women: Pericles, in his funeral oration, states: "if I am to speak of womanly virtues to those of you who will henceforth be widows, let me sum them up in one short admonition: To a woman not to show more weakness than is natural to her sex is a great glory, and not to be talked about for good or for evil among men." (Thuc. 2.45). Discuss whether Antigone and Lysistrata live within the boundaries set by Pericles. In your conclusion, speculate on what implications, if any, one can derive from these two women about Athenian women in general.

Option 2: Write one 1200-1800 word essay on one of the topics below, using only class resources (i.e. your textbooks, class notes, & pdfs):

Religion: We have seen that Herodotus followed the system of koros-hubris-ate. Examine the following with this in mind:

1. Creon in the Antigone,
2. one or more of the male characters (e.g. the magistrate, the male chorus, or Cinesias) in the Lysistrata, and
3. the Athenians in Thucydides' Melian Dialogue coupled with the outcome of the war.

Women: Pericles, in his funeral oration, states: "if I am to speak of womanly virtues to those of you who will henceforth be widows, let me sum them up in one short admonition: To a woman not to show more weakness than is natural to her sex is a great glory, and not to be talked about for good or for evil among men." (Thuc. 2.45). Discuss whether Antigone, Ismene, Lysistrata, and Myrrhine live within the boundaries set by Pericles. In your conclusion, speculate on what implications, if any, one can derive from these four women about Athenian women in general.
