The third hour exam will have two parts. The first part will consist of a short essay, in which I will ask you to write about two passages in conjunction with one another. The second part will be a series of short answer questions about the readings (with an emphasis on the way they represent heroes).

Review Tips

I How to Study
II Heroes we have studied
III Gods we have encountered
IV Key Greek Terms

I How to study: 1) Reread Euripides' Iphigeneia at Aulis and Hecuba and Sophocles' Oedipus Tyrannos and Oedipus at Colonus at least once. 2) As you read, pick passages out that you think I might put on the exam, and practice taking notes on them. Relate them to other works, interpret metaphors or imagery, review key terms in the passage, and above all relate the passage to the concept of the hero as we have studied it so far. 3) Study your class notes - this is crucial! Identify the primary themes of each lecture and how the focus passages illustrate those themes. 4) Follow up on the lectures by exploring the additional resources at the bottom of each lecture page on the course web site.
