Choose one from the following:
1. Choose a Greek sanctuary which we do not discuss in great detail in class, and describe its layout in antiquity, relevant mythology, and the history of excavation at the site. There are many, many possibilities here. Another way to think about this: choose a god or goddess who particularly interests you, and then search for his or her sanctuaries, and choose one to discuss in your paper.
Some options include Mount Lykaion (Zeus), Dion (Zeus), Nemea (Zeus), the Olympeion in Athens (Zeus), Agrigento (Hera, and others), Didyma (Apollo), Bassae (Apollo), Thasos (Herakles), Corinth (Aphrodite), Paphos (Aphrodite), Samothrace (the Great Gods), etc.
2. Choose a special activity which occurs at sanctuaries, such as oracles or athletic contests, and compare and contrast how this activity plays out at two or three different sanctuaries.
Oracle Sites (Delphi, Claros, Dodona, Siwa, Lebadea, etc.)
Game Sites (Olympia, Isthmia, Nemea, Delphi, Athens, etc.)
Mystery Cults (Eleusis, Arcadian cult of Despoina, cult of Trophonios, etc.)
[Please note: Some of these cults are more obscure, and may require deeper research.]
Festivals (pick a major city like Athens, and compare various festivals)
3. For those more interested in the relationship between art and cult:
Various Interpretations of the Parthenon Frieze, Parthenon, Athens (choose at least two)
The Decorative Programme of the Great Altar of Zeus at Pergamon in Asia Minor
requirement:
You must include a bibliography/works cited of at least six sources, preferably more. These sources must be either books or scholarly, peer-reviewed articles. Jstor.org, a database accessible through the Washington University library catalog, is an excellent source for peer-reviewed articles. This link will bring you to Jstor.org: https://login.libproxy.wustl.edu/login?qurl=http%3a%2f%2fwww.jstor.org You may use non-peer-reviewed web pages or internet sources for this paper, but these must be in addition to your six scholarly sources. Please note that while encyclopedia articles and related web pages are great starting points for research, they will generally not count as a scholarly source for your bibliography. If you have questions about sources, please send me an email or post in the Have Questions?/Need Additional Help? discussion board. Your sources must be cited/referenced in your paper with footnotes, endnotes, and/or in-notes.
