Write on one of the following topics:

• Myths Affirm: As Foley argues (see Maurizio, pp 174–185), myths can affirm social norms. Examine the passage from Euripides's Medea in Maurizio (pp 511–519) for some of the ways that it affirms ancient Greek social norms. In your introduction, briefly note some of the ways that Foley demonstrates that myths can affirm social norms (also make sure you give an example from Foley herself).


• Myths Challenge: As Winkler argues (see Maurizio, pp 226–233), myths can challenge social norms. Examine the passage from Euripides's Medea in Maurizio (pp 511–519) for some of the ways that it challenges ancient Greek social norms. In your introduction, briefly note some of the ways that Winkler demonstrates that myths can challenge norms (also make sure you give an example from Winkler himself).
