Write
on
one of the topics
below:
1. Powell, in his chapter on Theseus,
gives both Ovid's version of the
Procne & Tereus myth and part of Euripides' play The Hippolytus.
Both Ovid and Euripides give a portrayal of women back then. Compare
and contrast their portraits. In your conclusion speculate on the
significance of your findings. For citing purposes, use the line
numbers provided by Powell, making sure you have indicated which author
they are from.
2. Determine and
demonstrate who is
more heroic -- Theseus or Jason -- (and who less), based solely on Dithyramb 17 of
Bacchylides for Theseus (pp 448-450 in Powell's 5th edit; 69-72 in
Trzaskoma) and the
selections from the Argonautica
of Apollonius of Rhodes for Jason (pp 501-506 in Powell's 5th
edit) [NB
citing--make sure you indicate the authors and line numbers when citing
both Bacchylides and Apollonius of Rhodes. Heroic--use the heroic code
as outlined in class].
3. In Powell's chapter on
Theseus, he
gives passages from Ovid's writings and from Euripides'play The
Hippolytus
-- both dealing
with the nature and effects of 'love.' Using solely these passages, compare and
contrast Ovid's views (on the nature and effects of 'love') with that
of Euripides.'
[NB citing--make sure you
indicate the authors and line numbers when citing both Ovid and
Euripides].
