At this point in the semester we have read two Greek texts–The Odyssey and Antigone–and two texts from what we would now call the Middle East, Gilgamesh and Genesis. I invite you to write your first paper of the semester on an aspect of one of those texts by focusing on one of the following prompts:
What differences in gender roles do you see among the gods in The Odyssey?
Ismene and Eurydice are often doubled—that is, both played by the same actor—in performances of Antigone. What similarities in their characters does this practice foreground? What differences?
Are Gilgamesh and Enkidu in love? Formulate a response and argue for your position.
Compare and contrast the relationship between God and humans in two or more parts of Genesis. What difference do they differences make?
You may propose something else, but you should be focusing primarily on one text, and seeking to answer a specific question like the ones above. Let me know by the weekend if that’s what you’re planning on doing.
Document features: 1200–1500 words, in a 12-point font with one-inch margins, double-spaced. You should follow MLA style for quotation and citation.
