Changes to prescribed text editions in the Greek period study and The Politics and Culture of Athens, c.460–399 BC depth study
We would like to draw your attention to a change in the prescribed editions of texts in the AS/A Level Ancient History specifications, for first teaching in September 2017. Changes have been made to the Greek period study (H007/11 and H407/11–13) and The Politics and Culture of Athens, c.460–399 BC depth study (H407/12).
Appendices 5c and 5e of the A Level specification, and Appendix 5c of the AS Level specification have been updated and reflect the prescribed edition of the texts we will use in the exams.
Centres are free to study the sources from any translation, however where a passage is printed on a question paper it will be taken from the editions listed, with such modifications as seem appropriate to the examiners.
The prescribed edition of the following source in the Greek period study (H007/11 and H407/11–13) will now be:
- Plutarch, Pericles 30–31 will be taken from an OCR source booklet, which will be provided on the OCR website.
The prescribed edition of the following sources in The Politics and Culture of Athens, c.460–399 BC depth study (H407/12) will now be:
- Aristophanes, Knights 147–395 and Aristophanes, Wasps 891–1008 will be taken from an OCR source booklet, which will be provided on the OCR website.
