  • every main body paragraph should have in-text citations (you want at least 2 good examples with citations per paragraph)
  • in your opening paragraph mention what work(s) you are using, e.g. Aeschylus's Eumenides.
  • then, when you cite specific examples, use the line numbers from the text along with the page number from Maurizio (when using her book). For example, from Aeschylus's Eumenides: "You jurors who have this duty to fulfill, quickly spill out the ballots from the urns" (862-863, Maurizio, 265).

Transl. Frederick Ahl. Oxford World's Classics. Oxford University Press. 2008. In Classical Mythology in Context. Lisa Maurizio. New York: Oxford University Press. 2016.
  • if using Johnston's translation, then your Works Cited entry should be: Aeschylus. Eumenides. Transl. Ian Johnston. johnstoniatexts May 2017. (put URL here) Accessed (put date you accessed the web page)
  • see pdf in Canvas for how much of a deduction there will be for failure to use hanging indents, italics (properly), etc.

  • Don't forget to turn in the draft copy with my or the Writing labs' comments on it for it to count towards your revised paper total (and don't forget to make the revisions!)

Write on one of the following topics:

• The Eumenides: Using only the selection from The Eumenides, as your primary source material follow the first two steps Maurizio outlines on page 269 and write about "what sort of family relationships ... females favor" or "what sort of family relationships" males "favor." You may also use the selection from Goldhill on pages 269-272 to help in your analysis, but make sure you have good examples from The Eumenides.


• The Eumenides: Using lines 982 to end of play from this on-line translation(click here), follow the steps Maurizio outlines on page 269 and answer her question "does this compromise mediate or resolve the conflict between male and female?" You may also use the selection from Goldhill on pages 269-272 to help in your analysis, but make sure you have good examples from The Eumenides.


• Neith & Athena: Start by making a list of the similarities between Neith and Athena in the primary source readings in Maurizio (pp 260-266 for Athena and pp 276-278 for Neith). Based on that list, answer the following question: "Are these sufficient to assume that either goddess contributed to the character of the other?" If not, then discuss the differences between the 2 based on these two readings.
