Write on one of the following topics:
- Ritual Theory: After examining the correspondences between the Eleusinian Mysteries (use the lecture, and, if you wish, the Maurizio, 159–161) and the Homeric Hymn 2: To Demeter (use Maurizio, 163–174), argue whether the hymn was closely connected to the Mysteries and formed a blueprint for them.
- Charter Theory: Examine how the Homeric Hymn 2: To Demeter (Maurizio, 163–174), can be used to provide a 'charter' for the relationship between husbands and wives and/or between parents and children.
