Yeah, I wrote kyrbeis wooden panels rotating in the agora, but then after realised it should have been the fact he was a poet

Ah yeah same, I put that and then literally that he introduced reforms because I was confused. Makes sense now but that's still an annoying question

yeah neither like it was so hard to talk about Olympian gods specifically bc you kind of cant talk about the erechthion much and you couldnt acc see the metopes or pediments on the parthenon so you couldnt really talk about that so I was a bit lost
tbh I just talked about all the pediments and metops regardless. They allow you to talk about the reverses of pots even if you’re only given the obverse in the exam, so it follows that we are also allowed to talk about finer details of the acropolis that aren’t clear on the source

greek religion thoughts?
I loved it. Philosophy is my strongest topic and the 20 marker was almost identical to an essay I wrote at the weekend. Didn’t like the 30 markers as much (I did the one on women) since I couldn’t remember much relevant scholarship, but I still wrote an alright essay. Surprisingly also had enough time at the end to add an extra point to each of my 10 markers

Honestly pretty good tbh, very glad we got in Verrem as I barely know the letters, and obvs I did the Caesar 30 marker which was a good qn, the 20 was good too and the 10s were all fine

It was so good, I wanted to add more stuff too but I ran out of time

Guys for Athenian Democracy and in general, for the 30 markers do you need to put every single important detail in the plays or sources mentioned? I put some big important ones but my mind blanked and forgot other important ones

I agree about the first 10 marker, honestly cannot remember what my points were
Did anyone else think the actual like source picture of the acropolis was bad as well? It had no colour it was basically black and white and didn’t show fine details iygwim….

Did anyone actually know when Socrates died for Greek Religion? I was just thinking last night if I needed to know any dates but I decided against it 😭
