Aeneas succeeds as a warrior, but he fails as a husband and a father. Argue for or
against this statement, remembering to structure your analysis around Roman ideas
of marriage and fatherhood. Prove your argument
by gathering evidence from the Aeneid and comparing it with sources in Shelton.- a clear and specific argument, supported by evidence drawn from our readings
and lectures;
– a logical and coherent structure;
– accurate citations of primary texts in the proper format;
– careful writing, within the required length, in grammatically correct English, with
very few or no spelling errors; and,
– for a higher grade, evidence of individual thought, and creative or sensitive insights
into your chosen topic.
Length: 5-6 pages, double-spaced.
Citation: Please include BOTH the Roman authors and the page of our textbook
(Shelton, As the Romans Did). Here are some examples:
Martial, in Epigram 1.86 (Shelton, p. 71), complains that he sees his friend
Novius very rarely, although they are neighbors.
It is necessary for farmers to perform a ritual when cutting down a grove of
trees, according to Cato, On Agriculture 139, 140 (Shelton, p. 363).
If you cite Virgils Aeneid, you must use our Mandelbaum translation. Here is an
example:
Anchises says that the mission of the Romans is to spare defeated peoples,
tame the proud (Virgil, Aeneid 6.1137).Research: All the evidence for your paper should be based on the original Roman
sources in Shelton and the Aeneid. There is no need to do further research.
Remember that in an ancient history paper, the best kind of evidence is the ancient
evidence written by Roman themselves, not modern summaries.
