GREEK COMEDY:
Term Paper Gudelines.
Illustration (see bottom of this page for the backside
of this statuette): Bronze statuette, 9.56 cm high; width across knees 5.59 cm. depth 2.9 cm. Note casting bubble in his left eye. Date: 530-520 BCE.. A small tag below each foot indicates attachment to something esle, probably a tripod or a stand (perhaps appropriately for a wine container). Possibly from a workshop in the Peloponnesos.(From The Centaur’s Smile, The Human Animal in Early Greek Art, J. Michael O. Padgett, ed. Yale Univ. Press, 2004. Fig. 56)
The possible paper topics are listed in the syllabus. Here are some guidelines to help in writing.
All term papers will give a background to the subject (i.e. cultural context), treat the subject in Comedy (i.e. in its textual context), and explore more than one play.
No paper should be longer than 20 typed pages, double spaced. No paper will have fewer than seven pages (12 point type, 1-inch margins).
Term papers will include primary source materials (properly cited), as well as references to secondary sources. Internet resources will be allowed only with prior professorial approval. When in doubt, check with Dr. Levine.
Students will choose their topic by the 10th week of classes, and submit their choices in writing before spring break (see course schedule).
Students will consult with the professor about their term paper progress, beginning in week 10.

I suggest that you write several possibilities that you might consider, and then try to narrow those down to one or two, and let me know your thoughts on them.
You may contact me any time during the process if you like, and I’ll be happy to share my ideas with you, or just brainstorm.
