Perseus said, "I would willingly risk my life to do so." to King Polydectes while he accepts the duty to repay the kindness offered to him by the King and the Fisherman.

This saying is from the chapter The <u>Gorgon’s Head</u> of <u>A Wonder Book.</u>

<u></u>

When Perseus and his mother Danaë were set afloat upon the sea, a fisherman helped them, who happened to be King Polydectes's brother. The fisherman is a kind-hearted man, an exact contrast to King Polydectes, who is cunning and wicked.

As Perseus grew into a strong young man, King Polydectes resolved to send him on a dangerous mission. As soon as such a mission was identified by the King he called for Perseus.

As stated in the book :

‘Perseus,’ said King Polydectes, smiling craftily upon him, ‘you are grown up a fine young man. You and your good mother have received a great deal of kindness from myself, as well as from my worthy brother the fisherman, and I suppose you would not be sorry to repay some of it.’

‘Please your Majesty,’ answered Perseus, ‘I would willingly risk my life to do so.’

Read the excerpt from "Mending Wall."
OLga [1]
The correct answer is B. 

Poems are not like diaries, even if they are written in the first person. This means that the "I" in a poem is not the voice of the poet, but rather is the voice of a whole other character, the speaker (who is equivalent to the narrator of a novel). Each poem will have its own distinct speaker, which accounts for the different views of spring in this question.

Write an informative essay on a Greek mythical character
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Hercules.

Explanation:

Hercules is a mythical character in Greek mythology. He is seen as the divine god, the son of Zeus -the god of thunder and King of the gods on Mount Olympus. Hercules was half man, half god and was the embodiment of masculinity, greatest of all Greek heroes, he also defeated Hector, the bravest and strongest warrior in the battle of Troy.

Hercules was a person of great physical strength and incredible sexual prowess with both men and women. He was also blessed with wisdom as he was not always a brute but employed his intellect when he found himself in situations his great strength couldn't save him.

Hercule was hated by the goddess Hera -wife of Zeus because Zeus made love to a mortal woman Alcmene by disgusting himself as her husband. Hera's hatred of Heracles was so much that she plotted to kill him at birth with the help of Ilithiya, goddess of childbirth but her plan failed.

Heracles was named Alcides by his earth parents but he later became known as Hercules. He was renamed to try and pacify Hera after she sent two giant snakes to kill Hercules and his twin brother when they were eight months old.

Hera eventually succeeded in making Heracles mad much later and he ended up killing his children.

In his quest to expatiate the murders, he was sent to perform twelve tasks by his archenemy Eurystheus. Even though Hercules performed all ten tasks, Eurystheus wouldn't accept two of the tasks and asked him to accomplish another two, which Hercules did with ease. He was expunged of his crimes and granted immortality.
