There is no outside research required—all questions are designed to be answered using the assigned course materials. If you decide to bring in outside sources, the same source requirements apply here as elsewhere in the class—if you need to review source criteria, please see the week 1 lecture materials. Lower-tier sources will result in heavy point deductions and you may need to revise and resubmit in order to receive a passing grade. You may find that you wish to repeat ideas that you have expressed in the Discussions. You may not copy and paste from your own work (this is called self-plagiarism and it is against APU policy) but you may paraphrase yourself. Be sure to include citation for each essayBelow this i will give the four questions i need answered. The only thing i need from the writer is to use good sources for a high level paper. Also, when writing the different questions to make so i am able to differentiate each question.Another thing our textbook for the class is Ancient Greece : From Prehistoric to Hellenistic Time by Thomas R. Martin if you could use it for one of the sources that would be great.Each question should have two different sources including the text book.Question 1) In this class we cover ancient Greece from the Mycenaean age to the coming of Rome. Over this 1000 plus year period, Greece and the Greeks experienced many changes. Considering this long span of time, is it accurate to say that there is a characteristically “Greek” culture? Why or why not? Support your answer with details and examples taken from ancient Greek history. This is not a Greek legacy question. The answer should include details from different periods of Greek history covered in this class.Question 2)Prompt: What are the challenges that historians face when using the following source types to reconstruct Greek history?EpicsDialoguesOld ComedyHow should we responsibly approach these materials, and what kinds of evidence for ancient Greek society can we legitimately obtain from them? Please support your answer with specific examples taken from ancient Greek texts (primary sources) assigned for class. All three of these specific genres must be explicitly addressed in your answer.Question 3) Prompt: Compare and contrast the way the common people in ancient Greek society participated in public life with the way that Greek elites participated in public life. Use examples from Greek history to support your answer. This is a broad question so it needs to cover more than one aspect of Greek society, or more than one gender. For example, it would not be sufficient to simply compare and contrast elite Greek women’s participation with that of middle- and lower-class women. Question 4 )Prompt: How was ancient Greece affected by outside power or foreign nations? Characterize these interactions and provide examples from Greek history.
