Thank you, Annabelle!!
You and everyone else have been here since the very beginning of this project. You all probably know it as well as I do by now! Your friendship, support, and enthusiasm has meant the world to me over the last four years. I don’t know what I would have done and where I would be without a friend, roommate, and FYS buddy like you.

Thank you, Professor Hettinger! Likewise it has been a pleasure to work with you and Professor Shaya this year. I couldn’t hope for two better advisors!

Thank you, Alexis! It’s so good to hear from you! I hope all is well with your graduate studies!
Cultural game theory can certainly be applied to other Homeric and literary women, and to historical women as well, which I think is what makes this lens so useful! I think personally, Clytemnestra’s story is the next most urgent story to reexamine because of her similar status as a femme fatale.
I had planned on including the Odyssey in my I.S., but then I found I had so much to say on the Iliad! There is enough evidence to support the argument that Helen wears a Greek persona in the Odyssey, and even wears a “domestic” persona, which is not seen in the Iliad. I have some preliminary remarks on Helen’s speech/appearance in my Classics Jr. I.S., if you would like me to send them your way.
Thank you for watching!

Thank you, Sai!
I think so…Helen’s personas help her project multiple identities that help her fit in better with Trojan and Greek society! She certainly has an awareness and knowledge of the cultural/speech practices of both societies.
