Read the passage from a story in The Arabian Nights Entertainments. The fisherman was very unhappy. "What an unlucky man I am to

have freed you! I implore you to spare my life." "I have told you," said the genius, "that it is impossible. Choose quickly; you are wasting time." The fisherman began to devise a plot. "Since I must die," he said, "before I choose the manner of my death, I conjure you on your honour to tell me if you really were in that vase?" "Yes, I was," answered the genius. "I really cannot believe it," said the fisherman. "That vase could not contain one of your feet even, and how could your whole body go in? I cannot believe it unless I see you do the thing." Then the genius began to change himself into smoke, which, as before, spread over the sea and the shore, and which, then collecting itself together, began to go back into the vase slowly and evenly till there was nothing left outside. Then a voice came from the vase which said to the fisherman, "Well, unbelieving fisherman, here I am in the vase; do you believe me now?" What is the fisherman’s motivation for asking the genius if he really was in the vase? to make the genius grant him three wishes to try to find a way to stay alive to see if the genius was lying to have more time before the genius kills him

<h3>What is the idea of 'The Arabian Nights Entertainments?'</h3>

'The Arabian Nights Entertainments' is the story of a fisherman and a genius captured in the vase who vowed to kill him. The genius is frustrated and had been waiting for centuries to be freed from the vase.

3. In what different ways does the text
Maksim231197 [3]

The full question is: In what different ways does the text distinguish prometheus's character from that of the other gods on mount olympus

Answer and Explanation:

The text to which the question refers is "Prometheus the friend of man."

In the text Prometheus is presented very differently from the other gods of Olympus. That's because he preferred to spend his time on earth working to make human life easier, unlike the Olympian gods, who preferred to do nothing, rest and receive offerings. Furthermore, the text shows that Prometheus wanted human beings to be independent and able to act without the help of the Olympian gods, who believed that human beings should be submissive and servants.
