Description
What aspects of the
story Alexander's birth (Plutarch 2 and 3, Cheshire p. 9-12) strike you as
folkloric ? What aspects do you
think have the most likelihood of being historical, or at least partially
historical? Use as many specifics as possible from the entirety of Cheshire p.
9-12.
Each of the three posts should be 100-200 words; please refer to
the discussion rubric to refresh your memory on the guidelines.
(NOTE THAT WHEN YOU ARE CITING AN ANCIENT SOURCE, YOU WILL NOT
BE CITING CHESHIRE BUT THE SOURCE ITSELF. SO A REFERENCE TO PLUTARCH WILL BE
"PLUTARCH 2" OR "PLUTARCH 3". YOU NEED NOT BE MORE SPECIFIC ABOUT THE FACT THAT
IT IS FOUND IN CHESHIRE.)
