Explain the chief differences among the principal Greek tragic dramatists.

Essay answers should be written with college level grammar thoroughly addressing the topics. Responses must be well developed for depth of discussion and critical detail. Format must be double-spaced, two-page essay (minimum 500 words in the body text). Points will be deducted for papers of insufficient length. Responses that are inaccurate, improperly paraphrased, not cited (MLA), or plagiarized will receive no credit. Be sure to cite the textbook at each sentence — both for direct quotes and when used indirectly. You must use MLA citation format. Failure to do so will result in a zero for plagiarism and a possible “F” for the course. Include the word count for your paper at the end of your essay. The essay responses will be automatically submitted to SimCheck by the Canvas system. SimCheck is an originality program that scans all submissions for plagiarism. It has an enormous database that is continually updated. Just do your own work, and use source material (the textbook only) appropriately.
