(1) Select ANY twoindentedquote passages from Nagy’s book chapter that appeal to you and then (2) reflect if the hero / immortality experience depicted in Nagy’sindentedpassages can find points of contact with either (A) your own life or (B) with a person’s life who you happen to personally know… or perhaps a person you know from a film or book or from any form of contemporary media.In other words, draw on two of Nagy’sindentedpassages on immortality or imperishability(and also draw on Nagy’s surrounding interpretations of his indented passages) and create a response of approximately 250 words that reflects on points of contact between Nagy’s indented examples of immortality in ancient Greek culture and, on the other hand, similar examples from contemporary life,.. whether your own life or otherwise. But do use Nagy's language -- his quotes -- in order to enrich your own language about the role (or at least the potentiality) of "imperishable fame" in your own life or in another's life.
