yeah im hoping maybe thats a possibility. i have no idea about the 20 but I was thinking maybe role of women or priest? but this whole exam is stressing me out cuz I feel like the WOTH exam you could guess the questions and I did Imperial Image and we could guess the questions for that as well, but this exam the advanced info isn't really that helpful.

It was either Olympia or the Nausicaa painter

Thanks so much! Olympia was 2020 -so maybe the Naussica painter? Do you by chance remember any of the other questions or topics from 2021? Thanks again!

The other 10 was about the delphic oracle and its importance to city states. The 20 was about oracle's being better than cults for private worship of the divine. The 30s were about xenophanes and socrates and then the other was about the panathenaia. Hope that helps x

Yes that’s super helpful - thank-you so much!

Hey I sat the paper and it was definitely Nausicaa painter for the visual 10, I think we can rule it out potentially?

Each one of the prescribed sources for the first part has been used in a mock paper - So I think it could be anyone of them!

I just realized, the Black Figure Panathenaic Amphora of Athena in armor prescribed source) hasn't yet appeared on a past exam - may be worth studying? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnZEbSY2quY

From looking at past papers they don't seem to have much link to prescribed sources but more general beliefs covered in each theme like religion and philosophy or places of worship. However it does look like there's a trend of the beliefs 10 marker linking to the 20 marker so based off the prescribed sources there may be a slight link (as I understand that the prescribed sources listed are to aid in the 20 as well?)
