  • in your opening paragraph mention what work(s) you are using, e.g. Aeschylus's Eumenides.
  • in the main body, when you cite specific examples, use the line numbers from the text. For example, from Aeschylus's Eumenides: "You jurors who have this duty to fulfill, quickly spill out the ballots from the urns" (862-863).

Write on one of the following topics:

• Human/Divine relationship: Examine the relationship between humanity and the deities in the selection from Aeschylus's Eumenides in Maurizio's textbook. In your conclusion postulate what conclusions can you draw about the Greek society based on your examination. [FYI: in addition to Zeus, Athena and Apollo, the Erinyes are also deities]


• Male/Female relationship: What message does the selection from Aeschylus's Eumenides and/or lines 75–168 from the Hymn 5: To Aphrodite in Maurizio's textbook convey about the relationship between males and females? Make sure you give concrete examples. In the passage from Aeschylus, examine how the various deities relate to each other; in the Hymn examine how Ankhises and the "mortal woman" relate to each other (actually the mortal woman is Aphrodite in disguise, but treat her as if a mortal woman).
