Answer: Perseus stole their tooth and eye and says he will give it back when they tell him where the nymphs are

Explanation: Perseus was the slayer of the Gorgon Medusa and the rescuer of Andromeda from a sea monster. As an infant he was cast into the sea in a chest with his mother by Acrisius, to whom it had been prophesied that he would be killed by his grandson. After Perseus had grown up on the island of Seriphus, where the chest had grounded, King Polydectes of Seriphus, who desired Danaë, tricked Perseus into promising to obtain the head of Medusa.

The Phorcides in greek mythology were three (3) old sisters who have one eye and one tooth between 3 of them. They told Perseus where to find the nymphs from where he got objects which aided him in beheading Medusa.

This act by Perseus indicates he was willing to go to any lengths to get what he was after.

What argument was presented to justify the replacement of Indians with Africans?
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

There were two arguments that justified this position.

Explanation:

The first argument was that Europeans had a more favorable view on Native Americans than on Africans. They considered Native Americans to be "people", while they did not think the same of Africans.

The second argument is more practical. Europeans saw that Africans were stronger and could resist the hard work in cash crop plantations better than the Native Americans.
