Archer Library Scholarship Reflective Essay

Abstract

In writing my essay “The Influence of the Chorus in Aeschylus’ Oresteia : Visualizing ποιητικος & μίμησις ,” written for Classical Studies 211 and taught by Dwayne Meisner, the Archer library was a crucial resource for my studies. While preparing information to write this 18-page essay, I made use of the library’s many resources such as the online databases, loaning physical books, and using the interlibrary loaning system in order to get a book necessary for my research. Because of the length of this paper and the complex topic, extended research was required in order to find the specific information I needed to write about the themes of Greek tragedy.
