Overall impressions

[edit]

Guiding questions:

  • You've done a really good job with this! I only had a few specific suggestions which I'll copy and past in below!
  • The comparisons between Hannibal and Hercules must have been apparent to all educated sources at the time due to its mention from primary sources[2]. - Not neutral, try to stick more to “Primary sources often make comparisons between Hercules and Hannibal”. Try to remove any language that is not stating plain and neutral fact
  • Propertius, whom in his poem 4.9 also mentions similar information as Macrobius. This is evidence that he was also using Varro as a source[3] - These sentences are just a bit choppy and could use some revising
  • According to Livy (9.44.16) - You could just link to the section of Livy’s writing that you quoted.

Overall evaluation 9/10 - Super good! Keep adding as you have been and just be mindful of the few things I highlighted.
