I do love and relationships and was wondering do we need to use direct quotes? I usually use quotes for Sappho and Ovid but because Seneca and Plato don't have any prescribed sources, are we still expected to directly quote? Before I've said things like, in On Marriage, or explained in Symposium, but do I need to change this?

i think you're only expected to use precise quotation from the prescribed sappho poems/ars 3

Predictions for Greek Religion anyone...?
Looking through the extended questions atm, but for sources the Marble relief/anatomical votive from the shrine of Asklepios has never appeared (it is a leg though...bit difficult to squeeze marks out of).
All the other visual sources have appeared before, makes me think they'll choose a site this year - likely the Acropolis. Olympia appeared in 2020. However, Delphi has never cropped up besides in sample paper, and in 2021 they reused the sample's source (the sacrificial amphora) in the 2021 paper.
Only eight potential sources, not too bad I think. 30/20 markers are a different matter lol

In the mark scheme they often quote things e.g from the republic or symposium. I would if I were you as it will help with you AO2.
