Write on one of the following topics:

• Funeral Oration: In Thucydides' History, instead of giving a typical funeral oration when all the Athenians gathered to commemorate those who had died in the first year of the war, Pericles gives a funeral oration celebrating Athens. Similarly, when Apple Computer took a moment to gather all its employees at its headquarters and via weblink all its employees at all of its stores worldwide to have a commemorative "service" for Steve Jobs, it did something similar to what Pericles did. Compare (and/or contrast) Jony Ive's speech (click here time: 47:50-55:46.) with Pericles' funeral oration. Make sure you give concrete examples both from Pericles' speech and Ive's speech.


• Heroic Code: How heroic does Agamemnon seem based on Thucydides' account of the Trojan war? Use only the definition of the Heroic Code given in the pdf in Moodle along with the part of the selection from Thucydides in Moodle that relates to the topic.
