Assignment for Friday, 10.18.19

Dear Mythologists,

On Friday, October 18, we end our first full unit and conclude our reading of the Argonautica of Apollonius (a.k.a. Jason and the Golden Fleece).

Please do the following:

(1) Read Argonautica books 3 and 4. We'll pay particular attention to the role of Medea in these books and to the ways in which she is, and is not, an epic hero.

(2) Continue to take notes on anything that seems relevant as you read, and bring these notes to class. We will continue the group discussion exercise we began last class.

Please let me know if you have questions.
