55. An example ...
“You flunk”
This is a man with a boy who is pouring out wine for him. He is probably a god. The Greeks drank a lot of wine. This is a vase painting.

56. An example ...
“Not bad!”
This is Zeus and Ganymede. Zeus was the king of the gods. He brought the beautiful Ganymede to Mount Olympus. Zeus was all-powerful and could do anything he wanted, so he had a lot of human lovers.

57. An example ...
“Good job!”
This vase painting shows Zeus and Ganymede. Zeus kidnapped Ganymede in the form of an eagle and brought him to Mount Olympus to be his cupbearer. Zeus was known for his many love affairs with mortals. Zeus is shown here seated and with a staff, which shows his authority, and also with the eagle, which was associated with him.

58. An example ... “I’m truly impressed!”
This Athenian vase painting shows Zeus and Ganymede. Zeus kidnapped Ganymede in the form of an eagle and brought him to Mount Olympus to be his cupbearer. Zeus was known for his many love affairs with mortals, but most of them were women who became the mothers of heroes – only Ganymede was made immortal. Zeus is shown here seated and with a staff, which shows his authority, and also with the eagle, which represents his power as a sky-god. Ganymede pours wine in a type of scene that is associated with making libations.

59. Analysis
All right, I know the question on everyone’s mind is, how do the comments translate into grades?
Slide one is a 50%. You don’t have to spell things completely right, but you should be able to identify the subjects of the slide you choose to comment on. General comments like “this is a vase painting” and “the Greeks drank a lot of wine” don’t show a lot of knowledge or insight. I am pretty sure none of you are going to be writing comments like this.
Slide 2 is maybe 75-80%. The author got the identification right, and was able to give some good back-up information, establishing that s/he knew the story and had a broader context for it (Zeus’s many love affairs).
Slide 3 is 90%. The author got the ID and provided a good background – some details as well as the overall picture. S/he was also able to comment on the iconography and its meaning, and how it relates to the attributes of Zeus.
Slide 4 is 100%. The author had everything in slide 3, plus a little. There are a lot of different ways to add that little extra. This author did it by giving details about the fate of Zeus’s other lovers, and the kind of scene (libation). Another author might give more details about the Ganymede story, or other similar stories, or vase painting, or sexual customs, or so on.
