Read the excerpt from "Perseus."It happened that soon after their arrival Perseus heard that the King of Larissa, in the North,
was holding a great athletic contest, and he journeyed there to take part. In the discus-throwing when his turn came and he hurled the heavy missile, it swerved and fell among the spectators. Acrisius was there on a visit to the King, and the discus struck him. The blow was fatal and he died at once.What can be learned about Greek life from this excerpt?
I would say that back then, they did not have good safety measures which is why Acrisius was hit. Also, the gods' wills were influential on what went on.
