How do writers of epics typically start their poems?

English
1 answer:
Troyanec [42]3 years ago
4 0
The correct answer should be <span>by invoking their muse

The muse is a source of inspiration. If you look at Iliad, he starts by saying "Sing, O, Goddess", where he mentions the muse as a goddess because she is the one who enabled him to tell the story with her inspiration. This is quite common in ancient Greek Epics. The Greek gods are however mentioned later and are often the central part of all epics, aside from heroes since usually the course of things is that they made a mess between each other and the people are the ones who have to suffer the consequences.</span>

Frankenstein, how do the two ideas symbolized by Prometheus interact and build on one<br> other?
fredd [130]

<u>Answer:</u>

In Frankenstein, the two ideas symbolized by Prometheus interact build on one other as R.W. believes firmly in his ability to achieve his goals, but he is challenged by the natural world he seeks to conquer.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Frankenstein is mostly addressed as the Modern Prometheus because he stole something from God which has not been intended to be recognised to humans, and with scientific method and advanced technology he redefined his concept. He like Prometheus and mankind were punished for their actions.

But the difference between the punishments were that Frankenstein was destined to alienation mentally, and the deities bound Prometheus. The difference highlights another point that in ancient times, the Gods controlled everything and were responsible for everything that happened.

But in modern terms, man is in control of his actions and its consequences. Furthermore, the light imagery used as metaphors for understanding such as the "thunder" that Frankenstein had seen in the oak tree account, which embodied motivation and devastation is why Frankenstein is called a Modern Prometheus.
