Anyone else who studies the Greek Theatre topic? I'm planning on revising context for all forms of play and visual sources ofc, the two tragic plays (Bacchae and Oedipus Rex), but I think I'm going to sack off the comedy. The chances of the two questions asking about the comedy are slim... right? 🙃

most of my scholars for architectural are either woodford or emerson !! emerson's "greek sanctuaries" book is really good and woodford's "introduction to greek art" has lots of free standing as well iirc

Yes, mainly Susan Woodford, her book ‘An Introduction to Greek Art’ covers literally everything!

I could do with getting hold of the Emerson one, I really struggle with the architectural sculpture.

my teacher said it's likely to be Persian vismat but other than that I don't know, Herodotus will probably be on it somewhere

Does anyone know if its worth revising visual sources that have already been in past papers, like is there any chance they'll repeat one?

id say its always worth doing bc you never know if ocr will throw a curveball, but id say definitely spend more time revising the sources that haven't come up yet (for greek theatre, im pretty sure the ones that haven't come up yet are: pronomos vase, cheiron vase, medea’s escape kylix, phiale pelike, maenad stamnos, perseus vase)
