analysing the inscriptions on women’s diseases from Epidaurus Primary source : http://www.stoa.org/diotima/anthology/wlgr/wlgr-religion406.shtml You need to choose main points to analyse with setting a research question. (for example, “To what extend ….”) Research paper should contain some informations and analysis of >who are these inscriptions intended for? Why might they have been created? >what is the relationship between women and other people and gods in the inscriptions? What might this tell us about women’s status in the ancient world? >what are the key features of accounts of dreams in these inscriptions? Why are these features present? What might be missing? Is there any sense of connection with ancient Greek myth in these dreams (in particular the references to snakes and decapitation)? >what is the relationship between the cases described in these extracts? How can we account for the differences and similarities? Are these real experiences or ‘formulaic’ accounts to promote Epidaurus to the ancient Greek public? and bring some of those in deep analysis. Secondary sources are only used to give background information and to support the original analysis of the work. it is better to engage in an in-depth analysis son sentence or one feature of a work of art, than to cover a broad topic area – should show you digging deep into a specific problem, rather than seeking to survey a large surface area
