Write on one of the following topics:

• Myths Challenge: As Winkler argued (see Maurizio, pp 226–233), myths can challenge social norms. Examine how the Hymn 2: To Demeter (Maurizio, 163–174), can be used to challenge 3 ancient Greek social norms. In your introduction, briefly note some of the ways that Winkler demonstrates that myths can challenge norms.


• Myths Affirm: As Foley argued (see Maurizio, pp 174–185), myths can affirm social norms. Examine how the Hymn 2: To Demeter (Maurizio, 163–174), can be used to affirm 3 ancient Greek social norms (you can't use the same evidence that Foley uses). In your introduction, briefly note some of the ways that Foley demonstrates that myths can affirm social norms.
