Myth and Literature
The paper is to be between 2000 and 2500 words. Choose an ancient Greek play, and identify a myth within it. Analyze
the interaction between the traditional myth, the product of a culture, and the play, the product of a single author. In other
words, examine the way that the author of the play changes the myth he found in oral tradition by adding to it, by changing
it, and / or by neglecting to tell parts of it. Your thesis should bring the reader a greater understanding of the play.
Feedback: because this paper is due on the last day of class, I will not have a way to get it back to you. The easiest way is
to provide me with a stamped envelope with your address on it; I can mail the paper to you (or, if turned in electronically, the
feedback sheet). Otherwise, I will announce a period of office hours during the exam period where you can pick up the papers.
Finally, if you just want to know the mark on the paper without comments, you can request that by email
