QUIZ GUIDE
Every two weeks on a specified Friday (see Reading Assignments on this website) you will receive an 8 minute quiz in which you must define 2 terms from the reading assignment for that day.
For each term provide a solid complete definition, a date and 3 relevant facts. Example of a good answer:
Villa of the Mysteries- A villa in Pompeii known for its 2nd style wall painting dating to ca. 40 B.C. The paintings show the ordeal of a bride and celebrate the mystery cult of the god Dionysus and his consort Ariadne. The paintings also show mythological creatures associated with the Dionysus cult such as a Pan, Panisca and Satyr. The bride undergoes ritual whipping in order to purify her for her symbolic marriage to the god Dionysus.
