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 do Hitler's experiences in World War 1 shaped him as a person and a leader? What ideological did he develop after the war?
alisha [4.7K]
Hitler had a pretty pitiful life until he got into world war 1; it changed him forever, It not only gave him a purpose but also gave him power(which if you've ever read about hitler, you know he loved). He was a brave soldier, getting the rank corporal. He survived two battle wounds( only two years apart 1916 and 1918) and was awarded several medals. Basically, the war changed him from an artsy nerd with no actual future or talent to the cold and ruthless man he grew to be. The power is what really changed him; he was in control of others, he was the leader, and this made him feel unstoppable. This since of leadership and fighting never left him(world war 1 never left him), he brought it with him as he killed millions of people in the holocaust.<span />
