2: After vocab experts, we finished up our Beowulf interaction with the post-battle Beowulf hubris and the harrowing journey to Mama Grendel for another fight that will be hyperbolized into a tall tale like his antics in the sea. Next, we turned to Gilgamesh, starting our discussion by analyzing the protagonist, his buddy, and his unfortunate victim, the tree-loving, "just doing his job" Humbaba. We will finish up our discussion of Gilgamesh and move into The Iliad selection from your textbook during next class. If you missed out on the Gilgamesh discussion from today, then be prepared to bring up something on Monday.
6: Since our class was in multiple locations today, we had a moratorium on epic literature. We will resume on Monday - and will be doing a lot of reading and analysis next week to catch up a bit.
