• Your test will have three parts:

1. A: 5 very brief essay questions, from which you must choose 4. Questions are drawn from Hesiod's Theogony and chapters 4-8 of Powell's textbook, and our discussion of same. Each of these questions requires both that you know the relevant myths and that you can apply ideas we have discussed in class to an analysis of those myths. Each of these esssays will be worth 10 points.
