The Rise of Zeus

English

<span>The passage has a lot of inaccuracies. Zeus was never known as the most powerful god, he was simply king of the gods because he started the war against the Titans called the Titanomachy. Initially the Primordial gods were in power, until Gaia (first deity to ever be born) went to her children and asked them who would help her get rid of their father because she was mad he trapped their children, the Hecatonchires, in Tartarus. Only Cronus volunteered. He castrated his dad, Uranus, and then took over as king of the gods. When his wife (and sister) Rhea was pregnant with the first child, Hestia, he received a prophecy saying a son would overthrow him like he did his father. He therefore swallowed every child that Rhea bore him (including the female goddesses in case they had a son that could be the one to overthrow him). Rhea, when pregnant with Zeus, went to her mother and asked for his protection. She hid him in a cave on Crete where he was raised by a goat named Amalthea. When he was an adult, he returned to his father and used a mixture to have him throw up his siblings: Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades & Poseidon, all full-grown by this point. They took up home on Mt. Olympus and waged the 10-year long Titanomachy. Not all of the Titans stood by Cronus. Tethys, for example, helped Zeus. After 10-years of fighting, Zeus' uncles, the Cyclopses, made him his legendary thunderbolt which he used to free his other uncles, the Hecatonchires, from the depths of Tartarus. Using their 100 hands each (there were 3 of them), the Hecatonchires launched massive boulders at the Titans and sent them down into the depths of Tartarus, where they remained for a long time until Zeus released them. But at that point he had long been king of the gods and they settled in the background of Greek Mythology and were never really heard from again. </span>

Lilly took her brother Joe to the playground. Another little boy arrived at the playground with his mother. The boy started play
olasank [31]

Answer:

The teeter-totter was shared by the boys.

Explanation:

Passive voice is when the object of the sentence becomes the subject of the sentence. The subject of the sentence then receives the action instead of doing it. Passive voice always includes a form of the verb 'to be' and a particle of the main verb. In the case of the last sentence, the teeter-totter is the object/subject. "Was" is the past tense form of the verb "to be." Shared is the past particle of the verb "share."

So basically, the breakdown is like this:

The teeter-totter  +   was       +   shared by   +  the boys.

       object          past tense    past particle      subject

                            of the verb    of the verb

                               'to be'             'share'

All the other sentences are in active voice as the subject is doing the action. "Lilly took", "Little boy arrived", "The boy started playing" all have the subject in front of the verb.  

Hope this helps. :)

You can make a schedule. The use of a schedule will help you organize what you have to do. A schedule helps you keep track of what you should do for the day and make it less stressful than doing everything at once.

If you don't believe in ghosts, why do you think so many
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Ruling out psychosis, or the existence of actual ghosts, how do we explain ghostly sightings?

I saw one just after my son was born. To be exact, I ‘felt’ the ghost rather than saw him. ‘Feeling’ someone in the room is such a common occurrence in ghost sightings that it has a clinical name: “feeling of presence,” or FP.

In fact, survey data shows that while 18 percent of Americans say they’ve seen or been in the presence of a ghost, 29 percent say they have felt in touch with someone who has died.

A lightning storm lit up the sky while I sat bleary-eyed in Gabriel’s pitch-black bedroom, breastfeeding him in the armchair at some unknown hour. Then, the sensation descended – not as a possibility, but an absolute certainty, the way you know it’s raining because you are suddenly wet: there was a young man standing next to me.

My eyes scoured the contours of darkness for shapes, silhouettes. Petrified, I felt a maternal sixth sense alerting me to danger. It took every ounce of reason and self-reassurance to return Gabriel softly to bed and close the door, feeling all the while someone was watching us.

I tried to rationalize away the ghost as a manifestation of my anxiety as a new mom. My brain was uncomfortably awash with post-pregnancy neurochemicals responding in exaggeration to mundane stimuli: a baby’s face, a baby’s cry. I lay awake at night after putting Gabriel back to sleep thinking with genuine amazement that women everywhere do this all the time.

The thought astounded me. Why weren’t more new moms jumping from rooftops, or putting their heads in ovens?

Maybe my ghost was a subconscious idiom to express what many new moms feel they can’t: misery. Still, it was hard to “disbelieve” something I could sense almost tangibly.

One study claims to have reproduced a sense of “ghostly” presence in a lab by introducing unpredictability. Subjects, blindfolded and ear-plugged, were attached to a robot that reproduced their hand movements (e.g. tapping the air in front of them) on their backs using a robotic arm. When the arm corresponded in real time to subjects’ movements, they recognized it as produced by them.

But, with a few milliseconds delay, subjects reported feeling an eerie presence in the room. The temporal disconnect mixed up their sensorimotor signals so they no longer recognized the input signals as belonging to their own body. Some subjects were so spooked they opted out of finishing the experiment.

Another researcher proposed that a ‘sensed presence’ can be a reaction to extreme or unusual environments that we are unprepared to process, leading us to focus more within ourselves. In these circumstances (think Shackleton’s failed Antarctic expedition, survived air-crashes, space travel, solitary sailing) it is common to adaptively imagine a third man (as the phenomenon is called) who provides moral support when one needs it the most.

These explanations never made my ghost disappear. But they helped me to reconsider him as something else: a symptom of my feeling fundamentally disoriented, of not knowing what to expect.

And perhaps my ‘third man’ appeared, if not to provide me comfort, then to alert me that things were different now. I’d wandered into an uncharted terrain of sleepless nights, dirty diapers, sterilized bottles and the desperate deciphering of different baby cries. This was my ‘no-man’s land.’

So maybe there’s an ethical imperative to acknowledge that the ghosts we see – or feel – are not leering over our shoulders, but are instead inside our brains: personifications of our attempts to situate ourselves among deep uncertainties. We can become haunted by our own insecurity, in effect, ghosting ourselves.
