Read this student essay written about Greek mythology. 1. Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine, was responsible for healing in ancient mythology. 2. His daughter, Hygieia, was the goddess of health and cleanliness. 3. Tradition states that Asclepius angered Hades, god of the underworld, by saving others from death. 4. Hades asked Zeus to use his mighty lightning bolt to stop Asclepius. Where should the quotation below be placed to further develop the paragraph? A noted expert has written, “Health and hygiene are still represented today by the rod of Asclepius, a snake-entwined staff” (Atkin 286).

The quotation should be placed between paragraphs 2 and 3, that is, the quotation should be placed just after the paragraph that talks about the daughter of Asclepius.

Explanation:

When writing an essay, the author should make sure there is a link between the paragraphs that ensures a logical sequence between the information. For this reason, the quote, "A noted expert has written, “Health and hygiene are still represented today by the rod of Asclepius, a snake-entwined staff” (Atkin 286)." should be introduced in the essay soon after paragraph 2 which is a paragra that talks about the daughter of Asclepius being the goddess of health and hygiene.

In this way the essay will present a cohesive bond where all the paragraphs are connected and all the details are completed to present the subject as a whole.
