History
1 answer:
docker41 [41]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

His arrogance and pride angered the gods.

Explanation:

Sophocles's <em>Antigone </em>tells the story of when the two princes Polyneices and his brother Eteocles fought against each other for the throne of Thebes. And the brave decision of Antigone in disobeying the decree of King Creon and burying her brother's corpse led to the fateful ending of the characters but upholding the true nature of family ties.

The Chorus is a group of elderly men who are respected and their decisions accepted easier than others. They represent the older and wiser opinions and regarded as more trustworthy. And according to them, the cause of Polyneices's death is his arrogance and pride in his own abilities, which they think angered the gods. Their statement

<em>"Polyneices their commander </em>

<em>Roused them with windy phrases, </em>

<em>He the wild eagle screaming </em>

<em>Insults above our land" </em>

which led to his death

<em>"For God hates utterly </em>

<em>The bray of bragging tongues". </em>

<em></em>

How did senator Joseph McCarthy investigate domestic comunism
Vinil7 [7]
Ok, there is a lot for McCarthy. Since he was a Senator, form the late 1940's to the mid 1950's he went on a hunt for communists in the gov and in public life. He mostly did this because he wanted to ensure his political success. So during this time was the "Red Scare" aka when Americans were afraid of communism, so when he claimed he had a list of 205 communists the public went crazy and supported his crusade.
