First Paper Topic
Write a dialogue, modeled on the Euthyphro, in which Socrates examines Oedipus on his views
about piety and the gods.
A good paper will be careful to base the views
of Oedipus on what he says and does in Oedipus Tyrannus, and will cite the text as evidence . It will also be
careful to use the sorts of questions and arguments Socrates uses on
those he employs in the Euthyphro.
3-4 pages double-spaced.
