2025 OCR AS Level Classical Civilisation Paper 11 and Mark Scheme Combined (H008/11 The World of the Hero)

  • H008/11 is the compulsory component for AS‑Level in the OCR Classical Civilisation course. 

  • This component involves the in‑depth study of ancient epic literature in translation: for AS level, students study either The Iliad or The Odyssey. 

  • The paper focuses on themes central to “the world of the hero”: heroism, honour, fate, mortality, conflict, the human experience — as portrayed in Homeric epic.

  • Supporting textbooks/materials (e.g. an endorsed textbook for Component 11) emphasise broader context: what makes a hero, how epic themes resonate across time, how characters and moral values are depicted, and how the epics remain relevant today.
