Answer:
a person who takes part in an athletic contest.
Explanation:
Mrs. Whitaker's reading material is about a woman who has a very active life, full of twists and turns. This contrasts with the general portrait of Mrs. Whitaker because her life is very peaceful and quiet.
Although you have not shown the text this question refers to, we can see from the context of the question that you are referring to "Chivalry" written by Neil Gaiman.
When reading this story, we can say that:
- "Chivalry," tells the story of Mrs. Whitaker, who began to have constant visits from an Arthurian knight.
- These visits begin when Mrs. Whitaker buys the holy grail at an antique store.
- Mrs. Whitaker's life is very quiet, peaceful, without any kind of turmoil or upheaval.
- But she is not bored with it, but happy with the life she has.
- Her life is completely different from the lives of women in the novels she reads.
- That's because the novels show women with turbulent lives, difficult and full of adventures and challenges.
The arrival of the knight represents a change in Mrs. Whitaker's life and although the interaction between them is very good, Mrs. Whitaker was already happy before that.

<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>
