Key Words Hour by Hour @ Hour 25

~ Finding Passages With Our Key Words ~

Those who are following the Ancient Greek Hero in 24 Hours project at edX are thinking about the key words for each Hour in the context of that Hour’s texts (the focus passages and the fast readings), while here at Hour 25 we can read alongside the v3 participants, and we can consider other texts and passages as well. So we can try to find them elsewhere in the Sourcebook, where they are tracked — and, for anyone who is also interested in using the word study tools, maybe we can also find their use in other texts we are currently reading, for example in the Book Club or the Tragedy Reading Group selections.

This post will be updated to link to the discussion forum threads as they go up at the same times as the HeroesX “idealized schedule”, but the beauty of Hour 25 is that we do not have to finish in January: we can keep coming back to these threads whenever we find any of these key words used in a passage we are reading, at any time, and discuss that passage with each other.
