For Monday please begin Thucydides Book 1; I will continue with some remarks about Herodotus as well. The Midterm is graded; you can see it on Monday. I will also give you the total points for your Essays part 1 (we wrote 9 essays, 2 points each, so 18 points max). Both scores will be recorded in your essay booklets, on the back of the cover page. The class average for the midterm was 31.57/33 (or 95.6 per cent), with eight of fourteen students earning a perfect 33/33. Well done!

In exactly the same manner as for the Midterm, the Final Exam will be generated from the following THREE quizlets: https://quizlet.com/44762419/clas-bklyn-coll-2014-herodotus-sophocles-thucydides-flash-cards/ https://quizlet.com/24392875/core-i-plato-short-answers-flash-cards/ https://quizlet.com/24475788/core-1-2013-aeneid-etc-flash-cards/

The Power of Eros is enshrined in this scene; we may begin our consideration of Calypso in the Odyssey here (eros as concealer of historical forces). Meanwhile  Hera  soon reached  Gargarus , the summit of lofty  Ida .  Zeus , the Cloud-Driver, saw her, and instantly his sharp mind was overwhelmed by longing, as in the days when they first found love, sleeping together without their dear parents’ knowledge. Standing there he called to her: ‘Hera, what brings you speeding from Olympus? And where are your chariot and horses?’ Queen Hera replied, artfully: ‘I am off to the ends of fruitful earth, to visit  Oceanus , source of all the gods, and Mother  Tethys . They nursed and cherished me lovingly in their halls. I will visit them and bring their ceaseless quarrel to an end.
