Your instructions are to write a very detailed, very well researched paper about a topic that has been dealt with in class in a less detailed fashion.
Focus on the bold words:
Your “dig” should focus on one of these themes: conflict, women, or culture.
This “dig” should take the form of a researched essay in which you compare one of these themes in Hellenic Greece vs. Hellenistic Greece.
In researching and writing, "compare" means to describe and explain how two things are similar. You might ask your instructor if he/she really wants you to compare AND CONTRAST (tell the differences).
What exactly is this assignment asking me to do? lol i don't get the "dig" part. i actually don't understand anything.

Also ... do you have access to a college or public library? Even if you go to the library only once to get a library card/number, you should be able to get the usernames and passwords so you can access the huge databases most libraries subscribe to these days. You'll often find better information through them than through general searches on the Internet.
Here is an example -- one college's library website (but public libraries usually have many of these, too): (Broken Link Removed)
Click on Electronic Resources/Databases to see the different databases this particular college provides for its students. EBSCOhost, ProQuest, and Facts.com are among the largest and best.
What does your library provide? That's a good place to research.
