Write on one of the following topics:

• Females: What message does pages 151–154 of "A Taste of Earth" (in Leonard & McClure) and/or the hymn "To the Muses" (lines 1-97) and the dramatic tale of "Zeus Escapes from his father, Cronus" (lines 373–416) or "Zeus defeating Prometheus" (lines 417–499) in Hesiod's Theogony convey about the nature of females and/or their relationship to males? Make sure you give concrete examples. [Note: if you do Greek, then you need to give examples from the hymn and one dramatic tale, if you do Vietnamese, then just the page numbers indicated, if both Greek and Vietnamese, then the hymn, a dramatic tale, and the page numbers for the Vietnamese]
