Some questions to consider as you develop your projects:
1. Is there an explicit sign that your work somehow is a reception of an ancient text, such as its title, or is there a clear verbal or visual reference to an ancient source text?
2. If there is no explicit sign (see 1 above), what makes you consider your work a reception of an ancient text (e.g. a specific shared theme, idea, character)?
3. If your receiving work transfers its source/inspiration to another medium (from text to, e.g., film, music, or painting), what interesting adjustments in content and form are made?
4. How in-depth (or superficial) is your work's engagement with its source?
5. How does your work update its source for its new audience, i.e. an audience rooted in a different culture and time?
6. Does your work engage critically with its source, e.g. ironically, humorously, parodically?
7. Does your work provide any fresh, provocative, or enlightening perspectives on its source/inspiration?
