Does anybody have predictions for 2024 myth and religion paper?

Well, according to my teacher, since the following topics did not appear on the 2022 and 2023 papers, they are more likely to come up on this paper:

•

Gods and their responsibilities; their anthropomorphism

•

Homeric hymn to Heracles

•

Hercules and Cacus - Hercules and his worship in Rome

•

Hercules and Nessus

•

Greek priests - mantis

•

roman priests - pontifex maximus, haruspex

•

Aeneas and Romulus - founders of roman civilisation

•

Plutarch's comparison of Theseus and Romulus

•

Panathenaia and saturnalia festivals

•

centauromachy and Amazonomachy

•

Greek funerary practices

Hope this helps!

awh no, why do you say that?

Nah I’m saying that based on other threads and polls, this is the first exam where I’ve seen people say overall that they didn’t like the exam.

aww no i'm so sorry!! i found it really hard too :frown:

((. which 15 marker did you find the hardest!!

i did the women in ancient world paper. we got a legend 15 mark question and it was the most easiest 15 marker ever but i ran out of time. i blame the people who were running it because i could only see one of the times which were 3:16, and i based my timings off that. pray that i at least get some marks from the paragraph i wrote!
