Assignment:

(1) So, Hades -- hero or villain? Or is he a hero in some stories and a villain in other stories? Does his kidnapping of Persephone indicate a truly flawed character or does it reflect the world in which he lived?

(2) Knowing how Demeter took care of Demophoön, would you let her take care of your own child?

(3) The Eleusinian Mysteries: neither Eleusinian nor really mysterious. Discuss. (Sorry, this is an old joke from the 1990's. But, honestly, what remaining questions do you have about the Eleusinian mysteries, other than "what happened?")

(4) Which vision of the Underworld is more resonant for you -- that of Homer or that of Virgil? Do they seem very different from one another or rather just versions of the same gloomy fate?

(5) Which of these truly is the best name for dog? Pluto, Cerberus, Charon, Hermes Psychopompos, or Lethe?

(6) Is the story of Orpheus and Eurydice the saddest love story you've ever read, or rather just an apt description of different love languages?

(7) Given Orpheus's whole life story -- including his rejection of women and ultimate decapitation -- would you participate in the religion devoted to him, or maybe just appreciate him from afar?

(8) Which is your favorite mystery religion? (Don't be afraid to choose Cybele and Attis, there will be no castration involved in this discussion group.)
