School
Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge and Chelmsford
Description
We can gain insight into the artwork of a culture by better understanding the stories they tell. Additionally, we can understand a work of art by understanding its iconography. To understand iconography allow us to ‘read’ an artwork. Look for elements found in these stories which connect to the images and objects from our class (Ex. The Trojan War, the Temple of Apollo at Delphi, the Sutton Hoo boat burial).
Achilles and Ajax
Ajax and Achilles Playing a Game depicts two great Greek heroes from Homer’s Iliad.
In a cohesive academic essay, choose one of the following ancient works of literature (poetry, mythology, religious texts) to read and respond to. Some elements may sound very familiar; some elements will be very strange. Most of these works are fragmentary (some parts are missing), so doing additional research (like a Wikipedia search) is crucial to understanding these works.
Include a brief summary of the work. Include a few quotes from the text, so the reader can get a sense for the flavor and content of the work. Try to connect subjects of the stories to the artworks from our class. Most importantly in your response, what do you think of this work? How does this story compare to some of the stories we tell today? Can you relate to the theme(s) presented in this ancient work of literature? Try to connect subjects of the stories to the artworks from our class.Should. be in MLA. Style.
Choose one of the following literary works from the Ancient Near East and Ancient Egypt to write about in a cohesive academic essay:
Ancient Writings from Greece
Homer’s Iliad
The ‘Iliad’ is an ancient Greek epic poem, traditionally attributed to Homer. Set during the Trojan War, the ten-year siege of the city of Troy (Ilium) by a coalition of Greek states, it tells of the battles and events during the weeks of a quarrel between King Agamemnon and the warrior Achilles.

Homer’s Odyssey
The ‘Odyssey’ is, in part, a sequel to the ‘Iliad’. Scholars believe the Odyssey was composed near the end of the 8th century BCE, somewhere in Ionia, the Greek coastal region of Anatolia. The poem mainly focuses on the Greek hero Odysseus (known as Ulysses in Roman myth), king of Ithaca, and his journey home after the fall of Troy.

The Delphic Maxims
The Delphic maxims were a set of 147 aphorisms inscribed at Delphi, in ancient Greece. Originally, they were said to have been given by the Greek god Apollo’s Oracle at Delphi and were therefore attributed to Apollo himself.

Plato’s Allegory of the Cave
The Greek philosopher Plato expresses his skepticism about art and reality in his work ‘The Allegory of the Cave’. The original text is a bit dense but is an essential read for anyone involved with art and visual culture. Are Plato’s concerns relevant in today’s culture?
