Hi there, just wondering if L.O. 1.1 ( identify and analyse the key characteristics, qualities and attitudes of Greek and Roman heroes, heroines and leaders) is specific to the Odyssey and Aeneid or can they use for example the play Medea? And the same for the other (eg 1.3, 1.5 etc) L.O. in strand 1 that don't mentioned Homer and Virgil can they use examples from other strands. Thanks.

I would say that in this context it is just looking at the characteristics of Odysseus and Aeneas as Heroes and leaders, and then heroines such as Dido and Penelope. Mostly because it's part of Strand 1.
However, while studying the play, there's nothing to stop you highlighting similarities and differences between the characters. And considering some of the sample essay questions ask students to draw on any of the four strand, I think it would be wise.
