Essay Topic: “Choose two major myths or episodes in Classical mythology (i.e. a major Homeric hymn or set of hymns, a substantial account or summary such as Hesiod or Apollodorus, or major episodes in one of the Homeric epics). Compare and contrast the figures and events described in the two myths or episodes, and demonstrate how they contain important insight or wisdom for an ancient and/or modern audience.”
Each article should be at least 10 pages or so (not 1 and a half, for example). You can also use scholarly books or chapters of books, but not textbooks, encyclopedias or compendia. They have to be full articles, not reviews of other books or articles. WEBSITES ARE NOT ALLOWED AS SOURCES AND SHOULD NOT BE LISTED. When you list an academic source do not provide the web address (unless the journal is published only online), but rather provide author, date of publication, place or publication and publisher. Entries should look like this:
Salzman-Mitchell, P. and Alvares, J. (2018). Classical Myth and Film in the New Millennium. New York: Oxford University Press. (book)
