Write a close analysis of an ancient hero, heroine, or deity. Choose a figure from
ancient mythology that you want to examine more closely. Using the index to help you,
read 3-6 ancient texts about that figure in the Anthology of Classical Myth. Compare
and contrast the different representations of the character. Can we account for the
differences? For example, does the genre of the work, and/or the writer’s political or
philosophical goals determine how a character is represented? Give specific, short,
illustrations from the texts to illustrate your arguments and write between 1600-2000
words.
