Write on one of the following topics:

• Initiation: Examine the selection in Maurizio's text from Xenophon's An Ephesian Tale (374–379) with regard to van Gennep's rites of passage (as discussed on pp 360–363). In your introduction outline, briefly but completely, what the rites were. Make sure you give good concrete examples (with in-text citations) for both the theory and your examples from Xenophon.


• Love: If you were a doctor examining Anthia and Habrocomes for the disease of "love sickness," what evidence would you find? Restrict your evidence base to the selection in Maurizio's text from Xenophon's An Ephesian Tale (374–379). If you know of individuals who have exhibited the same "symptoms" as Anthia and Habrocomes, add examples of their "symptoms" to your discussion of Anthia and Habrocomes (but keeping doctor/patient confidentiality, of course). Your conclusion should contain the "cure" you would recommend for Anthia and Habrocomes (along with evidence that the "cure" works) [You may use the first person for this topic, if you wish].
