Passover Presentation

Passover this year actually begins on April 20, but the CICS group asked for an earlier date for my annual presentation of passover traditions. I'd appreciate feedback from those of you who attended the presentation. What parts of the presentation were the most fun for you, and what would you like to see more of if we did a "real" passover seder in late April?

Euthyphro

Many of my students seem to think Socrates' questioning frivolous, that, like the Sophists, he is simply playing with words. Do you think that's what he is doing in this dialogue? Is he simply trying to make a fool of Euthyphro? Or is there a purpose in this conversation? You might note what Euthyprho is about to do when Socrates interupts him, and note what practical problems Socrates himself faces. Any connections to the subject of this dialogue?

Trojan Women

The Greeks regarded the words of their great playwrights as "theopneutos," i.e., God-breathed. Do you agree? Cite a line or two from Euripides' "Trojan Women" that might show why the Greeks regarded writers like Euripides as almost equivalent to prophets. Explain why you find this line/these lines inspired or inspiring.
