"Constantine the I"

"The Greek Empire severed as its main competitor for religious dominance."

"Greek theatre was used worship of the Gods and examine their interactions with humans."

"Greeks would drink wine, be marry..."

"This ulterior knowledge is not shown in Agora."

"During the 4th century BC there were many different religious groups. Mainly there were the Christians and the Pagans."

Things my students can't seem to grasp: Romans != Greeks. Jews != Pagans. Science != Theatre. Let's work on these distinctions.

"why theatre was banned in Early-Rome."

"early-Christians may have associated the theatre aspect of this festival with theatre in general because at the time Dionysian was a highly renowned festivity."

"While watching the film Agora, it is evident that Christians did not support the beliefs of science because it went against the beliefs of Christianity. The film Agora shows the audience that early Christians did not approve of theatre because it presented ideas that went against Christianity"

"she wants the Furies to seek revenge for the matricide committed by her murder."

"The other aspect of the Greek Theatre was its costume." That is one big ass costume

Title: The satyrs and Cyclops of Euripiries. ...My hopes are not high...
::edit:: Turned out to be one of the better papers I read today. Student just can't spell Euripedes...

"why theatre was banned in Early-Rome." ...aren't ALL these essays about theater in early Rome?

"During the 4th century BC there were many different religious groups. Mainly there were the Christians and the Pagans." Because many equals two, of course.

"Greeks would drink wine, be marry..." LOL. I had this violin teacher who, for eight years, would misspell my name as either Marry or Merry. M. A. R. Y. Not that hard. So now I can't see marry/merry without cracking up.

I Cannot Hide What I Am

I must be sad when I have cause and smile
at no man's jests, eat when I have stomach and wait
for no man's leisure, sleep when I am drowsy and
tend on no man's business, laugh when I am merry and
claw no man in his humour...
I had rather be a canker in a hedge than a rose in
his grace, and it better fits my blood to be
disdained of all than to fashion a carriage to rob
love from any: in this, though I cannot be said to
be a flattering honest man, it must not be denied
but I am a plain-dealing villain. I am trusted with
a muzzle and enfranchised with a clog; therefore I
have decreed not to sing in my cage. If I had my
mouth, I would bite; if I had my liberty, I would do
my liking: in the meantime let me be that I am and
seek not to alter me.
