During Ulysses's long journey home after the Trojan War, the gods repeatedly challenge him. From sending storms his way to sending him off course, they turn his journey into an epic adventure. Despite the constant interference of the gods, Ulysses shows his strength, cunning, and worthiness by overcoming all the obstacles in his path to make it home.

Homer ends the Odyssey with the gods intervening yet again. Jove sends Minerva to Laertes’s farm to put an end to the fight between Ulysses and the dead suitors’ angry relatives. Minerva relays a message from Jove: everyone in Ithaca should live in peace now that their rightful king has returned home.

Homer seems to have the gods intervene one last time to reinforce the theme of piety and to show that the will of the gods overrules the concerns of mortals. It also seems like Homer saw this as a fitting ending because the gods finally reward Ulysses with peace and stability in his homeland.

Odysseus or Ulysees was captured by a woman and trapped on an island on his way home from Troy to his hometown  of Ithaca. The god Zeus helps him to escape. Soon, he disguises himself as a beggar to investigate the relation of his wife Penelope to her suitors. He finds out they are vying to take her as their wife (away from Odysseus) so he competes in a competition for her hand with bows and arrows. He wins the contest and then turns on the suitors and kills them, partly with his bow and arrow. After this, peace comes to Ithaca once again and Odysseus get his wife back.

What do you think Sir John Rowell means when he says, "man is the worst"? Explain your reasoning
andrezito [222]

This question is about "The Hand".

Answer:

He meant that the human being is more dangerous than wild animals like hippopotamus, tiger and gorilla.

Explanation:

"The Hand" is the horror story about the mysterious death of Sir John Rowell and the disembodied hand that appears several times in the story. However, before being murdered, Sir John Rowell talks to the narrator about his adventures and his passion for hunting. He claims that he has hunted several wild and dangerous animals such as the hippopotamus, the gorilla and the tiger, but that he was not afraid, as there are more dangerous animals, which he also likes to hunt, such as man. That's because man is rational and knows how to fight back. Wild animals, on the other hand, lack these skills.

Eryptian ideas and beliels
Nadya [2.5K]

Egyptian beliefs about future existence are not readily defined because the Egyptians are a very ancient civilization, making it difficult to study their religious documents.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • The Egyptians constitute a millenary civilization, with several different types of documents and that developed over time.
  • This meant that the Egyptians had a very wide variety of religious documents.
  • In addition, the Egyptian religion and society was influenced by other societies over time, which changed their beliefs and culture.

This made the study of Egyptian documents difficult and translated into many different languages, which had to adapt and simplify many concepts, which often left the Egyptian beliefs imprecise and poorly defined.
