After Perseus kills Medusa, what “hated truth” does he acknowledge about himself? Cite textual evidence to support your answer.

Her sleeping head with its great gelid mass serpents torpidly astir burned into the mirroring shield a scathing image dire as hated truth the accepts at last and fester on. I struck. The shield flashed bare. Yet even as I lifted up the head and started from the place of gazing silences and terrored stone, I thirsted to destroy. None could have passed me them no garland-bearing girl, no priest or staring boy-and lived. PLEASE HELP ME!!! ;-;

Answer:

Explanation:

   This poem is about the death of Medusa from Perseus' point of view. It starts off with Medusa sleeping, and Perseus can see her in the mirrored part of his shield. He cuts her head off with his sword, and the shield doesn't show her reflection anymore. Then Perseus takes the head and leaves the cave. As Perseus leaves, he gets angry and feels the need to destroy or kill things. Whenever Perseus passes by someone, he shows them the head and turns them to stone, no matter who they are.

           One example of a literary device in the poem is "serpents torpidly astir". This is an oxymoron because torpidly and astir contradict each other. This quote also adds imagery to the poem, by describing how the snakes move. Another example is "great gelid", which is an alliteration. The tone of the poem starts out calm, as it describes Medusa sleeping, then turns angrier after Perseus cuts Medusa's head off.

Define the terms for Canada autocratic , oligarchic and democratic
netineya [11]
Gotcha and not with those textbook definitions.

Lets say we own a herd of goat.  I dont even know if you can have herd of goat or if its called something but back to the point,

In a democratic society, every goat would have an equal chance to represent who they want to be their rancher.  They can express their views openly without any legal prosecution.  However, they dont just choose one person to lead them.  Lets say that theres a group of white colored goats.  These goats can vote for one goat to represent them as whole.  Same with the brown-colored goat.  Same with the black-colored goat.

(And no, please, if someone takes this as racist then I am done.  That is not what im going for)

Now an autocratic society has the rancher with absolute power (like a dictator).  He can control everything to his needs and he does not need to benefit the majority of the people, only the people that will keep him in power (which is why there is no such thing as a Dictator that will help the people.  If he does help the people, he loses the support of his closest allies who had him in power, and he is now tossed out of power).

Finally, an oligarchic is a bit harder to represent with goats but lets say we had some European Goats and some American Goats who used to be European.  They decided to sail across the sea to find "new land" and start there own government... But of course, that European Goat sees the American Soil that the goats now herd on as having lots and lots of grass, which is depleted in Europe due to the large amount of Goats.  They decide to create a charter to grant the American Goats rights to the land only if they send grass back home.

I hope this helps people understand these concepts as I just really came up with the metaphors for it and wow, I already love my own post
