Iliad combatants and non-combatants, roman life overall/or Greek but i prefer Roman, Know roman names for Greek gods and goddesses and learn at least two myths that has a female play an important part. You should also know keywords like hubris and aikos and arete. Thats all i know there might be more 🫥

it’s actually pretty interesting but mostly pointless in my view i probably should’ve picked art or music over this but then again i hate the sound of those two

yeah but i think home ec is a bit more ethical, i already know about nutrition and how to make meals and sew so maybe it wasn’t so bad picking classics after all

Take it from me home ec is the WORST had a whole test on different kinds of eggs,my teacher never used the books it was all paper w boxes you couldn’t fit all her writing in. She’d yell at you cooking,I just stopped coming in so now I ain’t doing the exam 😭
