Write on one of the following topics:

• Norse Myth & Hesiod's Theogony: In what ways are the giants and wolves in the Norse myth (Leonard & McClure, pp 60–62) similar to and/or different from the titans as described in the dramatic tales in Hesiod's Theogony? Make sure you give concrete examples for both and see the handout in Moodle for how comparison/contrast papers should be organized (important!).


• Vietnamese Myth & Hesiod's Theogony Compare/contrast Zeus' treatment of humans in Hesiod's Theogony with that of the Lac Prince/Dragon's of the Vietnamese myth (Leonard & McClure, pp 151–154). Make sure you give concrete examples for both and see the handout in Moodle for how comparison/contrast papers should be organized (important!).
