2010 CAC Undergraduate Essay awards
From: Bonnie MacLachlan
Additional successes in the 2010 CAC
Undergraduate Essay awards are now available for posting:
Junior
2nd place: Damian Melamedoff
from the University of Winnipeg, with "The Twelve Tasks of Heracles: A Role-Playing Game," an
innovative and carefully-crafted adaptation to the game Dungeons and Dragons of the labours of
Heracles.
3rd place: Rob Konkel from the University of
Saskatchewan, for his paper "Pericles and the School of Hellas: An Expression of Athenian
Nationalism," in which he looks at how Pericles manipulated democratic rhetoric to further
ideological goals that were nationalistic and totalitarian.
Senior
As there was a tie for first place there will not be a second-place
winner.
Third-place: Louise Savocchia from
McMaster University, who submitted a paper entitled "Pocket-sized Political Statements: The
Development of the Coinage of the Deinomenids of Sicily," combining textual and iconographic
evidence to demonstrate the political messages that were conveyed by the tyrants' coins, and including a
thoughtful inquiry into the vexed question of the Demareteion, a coin featuring Demarete, wife of Gelon
and daughter of Theron.
Honorable Mention:
- Anna Avdeeva, from Carleton University, for her paper
entitled "Elite Bodies Unveiled: The Sacred Band of Thebes in its military, political and
intellectual context." She argues that the Sacred Band emerged from a Theban tradition that
honoured warrior-lovers, and embodied 4th century philosophical ideas about harmoniously-governed
homoerotic societies.
- Valérie Pageau from the University of Ottawa, for her essay "Sur le
biculturalisme dans la vie et l'oeuvre de Dion Cassius," which looks at the tensions in Dio's work
arising from his attachment to Greek culture through his upbringing in Bithynia and his ostensible
support of the Roman Empire in the late 2nd century CE.
