Anyone doing these? Already done World of the Hero but I feel like not many people are doing these as well and I'm not sure what to think about the exam :/
I thought it was just sort of okay really, good 30 marker (Odyssey) but I didn't really like the comparison question and I thought the Aeneid and Odyssey passages were too similar :/
I agree the passages were basically the same and I find it more difficult comparing context as well as the actual passages Out of curiosity what did you put for the Odyssey 30 marker because I did the Aeneid one

The question was something along the lines of 'was Athene essential to the success of the epic'. So I determined that the success of the epic could either be Odysseus killing the suitors or it just being a good story and then I basically compare moments where she was there and how good that was/how it worked out to moments when she wasn't there and just concluded that she was essential. It wasn't particularly exciting but it meant you could write about almost every event.
The Aeneid one looked quite good but I figured I'd be doing war/augustus soon enough so i went with Odyssey
