Hey guys, while we are going to be talking about alot of different issues in class during the coming weeks, make sure you do the readings listed below so you can contribute! I will also be adding and making photo copies of some great primary sources as well, so check back here every few days to make sure you have the updated syllabus!
Each assignment is to be completed for class each night, and will be collected on occassion.
Assignment 1: (re)Read pp 127 to 133 and answer question 7 on pp 133
Assignment 2: Read your handout from the Iliad, handed out in class today. (9/11) Make sure to look up any words you don't understand.
Assignment 3: (re)Read our section of the Iliad, then, answer the following question.
The sheild of Achilles depicts several very specific scenes. Most historians agree that these scenes are meant to describe the 'perfect' greek society (in the eyes of the Archaic poet). In your own words, can you describe what 'Homer' views as the perfect polis? What does the perfect polis require? How should its citizens behave?
