In 3-5 paragraphs (about 500-600 words), provide the historical and cultural environment for the society of the time, as well as a general overview of the major mythic elements. Next, you will create an annotated bibliography of a minimum of 6 sources, using MLA or APA format. You must complete both an abstract and an annotated bibliography that contains specific elements for this assignment.
