You may use a
one-page outline for this test. The
outline must be turned in with the test.
A round-table discussion is being held in Hades
between Hektor, Antigone, Phaedra, and the Melians.
Write a transcript of the discussion, guided by the way Homer, Sophocles,
Euripides and Thucydides portray these characters.
The discussants are considering the following
questions:
·
What was the most important decision which you made?
·
What factors, for and against, did you consider in making your
decision?
·
What did you achieve or fail to achieve as a result of your decision?
After the first round, each character will comment
critically on the decision of at least one other character.
Have your
characters argue in specifics rather than mere generalities.
