Additional information concerning test, Thursday, Oct. 3, 2002

As previously announced, the test, covering the entire class period (one hour and 15 minutes) will consist of about 10 questions. Each question will count equally; it is anticipated that there will be numerous instances in which partial credit will be given for your answers.

In addition to the previous handout, note the following points:

There are several terms which have been used in the readings and/or lectures which may appear in questions on the test, without definition. Examples of such terms, which you may need to know in order to answer one or more questions, are the following:

chthonic
connotation
dearth
extant
genre
"tyrant" (as used in discussing Greek civilization; cf. Starr, pp. 47-48)

In the first map in Starr (p. 2), you should know the location of the following places or areas:

Aegean Sea
Argos
Athens
Corinth
Delos
Delphi
Euboea
Melos
Mt. Olympus
Olympia
Peloponnesus
Thebes
Sparta

Finally, remember that Starr, pp. 140-143 "The Peloponnesian War (431-404 B.C.)", though not mentioned in the syllabus for this part of the course, is important for all or most of Starr's "Sources on Athenian Democracy and Imperialism". Be sure to read Starr, pp. 140-143.
