books 7-12, books 1-6 take on the template of Homers Odyssey, the second takes on the template of the Iliad. It's recognised as the war books in comparison to the first half which are recognised as adventure/wanderings.

no you don't need to know anything on the Iliad, it's just what that half of the book is recognised as

Does anyone have any good notes on the Augustan values/laws etc. really panicking about putting context into the 40 marker

Was going to ask the same sort of question later, I know the general stuff, emphasising importance on religion etc but don't have any specific references or laws

Would it help everyone if i typed up all my notes on Augustus and context and put them up on here? I have a template saved already so i can just add some stuff in, would it help?

that would really help me, thank you so much!!! :smile:

but please don't feel you have to if you are pushed for other subjects or want to revise for this, wouldn't want to distract you from your own revision,

thanks

Thank you both so much!! My teacher gave me nothing like that, you can tell you both are going to do so well on Tuesday, i don't even know where to start revising for the 40 marker, unless Aeneas as a roman hero comes up I'll be screwed

I'm just starting to analyse the 40 markers and think you're right, it's practically the same question, I'm hoping this paper is nicer than today's one, really sick of aqa and just want summer to arrive
