Think of figures like Thersites and Dolon in the Iliad, Tellus in Herodotus, Hecuba in Euripides and Dicaeopolis
Description
3. The third/final essay should be 4 pages (1000 words) double spaced (using the template!). If you use large block quotations, or generally just quote at length, that is totally fine, BUT I will expect more than 4 pages from you.
4. Apply the same strategies to these essays as you would in Expository Writing. Your essay should have a central thesis made clear in the introduction, backed up by a series of body paragraphs that support it in different ways. Each paragraph should have a clearly stated topic supported by specific references to evidence from the text, which are then cited. Use each paragraph to explain how the evidence supports the topic, then how that in turn supports your central thesis.
5. There is no one right answer, but there are certainly wrong answers; a successful essay will be well-organized and present a coherent argument reinforced by specific evidence from readings and lectures. In addition to citing the pieces of literature we have read for the semester, you can also cite from the powerpoint lectures, the optional readings, and the New Pauly if that helps contextualize your argument or make a point.
Prompts:
1) Think of figures like Thersites and Dolon in the Iliad, Tellus in Herodotus, Hecuba in Euripides and Dicaeopolis in Aristophanes. Answer this: do you think the Greeks developed new and different ideas of noble character and action in the late 5th c. in contrast to Homeric models?

Save your file for submission !stName_FirstName.®bsp;Please use this template to write your three longer papers for this course; do not change the margins, spacing, font, etc. Really just download this, delete these paragraphs on style and citation, and start writing. It is that simple. You must submit your final drafts as word docs; be sure to draft your essays ahead of time, read them out loud to copy edit, and I would advise running an outline by your TA or meeting briefly in virtual office hours to discuss your paper briefly. Rewrites may be allowed at the digression of the TA/Professor.
Indent new paragraphs. Citations are important. Cite in parenthetical (Hdt. 6.54.1). Do not use foot notes (Iliad 12.105). Do not use block quotes in your paper, describe the scene, uote the most important line or two,®bsp;and then move on with your essay (Iliad 6.110). Do use secondary literature from the dditional readings®bsp;that are not required in the class and cite them as best you can (Walker, Guardian Article); do not quote secondary literature in block quotation, paraphrase instead (Nagy, Chapter 1); when possible, give a page number (Morris 164). Feel free to paraphrase Jimænbsp;presentations as well (PowerPoint 2, Slide 10), and absolutely consult the New Pauly on the Rutgers library website giving the title of the article (New Pauly, %rodotus.n
We care mostly about the primary sources you read in this class, e.g. the Iliad, Herodotus, etc. Show that you have engaged with these texts and use material from the assigned readings as evidence in your papers. There is no perfect essay response. There are hundreds of right answers. Be creative and thoughtful. There are certainly wrong answers and bad interpretations, but really just read the literature, work on an idea, and support that idea with evidence. You do not have to contribute a brand-new interpretation to the field of classics, we are just looking for competence, comprehension, an cohesive argumentation.
