Read the introduction of Helios from The Myths and Legends of Ancient Greece and Rome by E. M. Berens. Helios, who was the son o

f the Titans Hyperion and Theia, is described as rising every morning in the east, preceded by his sister Eos (the Dawn), who, with her rosy fingers, paints the tips of the mountains, and draws aside that misty veil through which her brother is about to appear. When he has burst forth in all the glorious light of day, Eos disappears, and Helios now drives his flame-darting chariot along the accustomed track. This chariot, which is of burnished gold, is drawn by four fire-breathing steeds, behind which the young god stands erect with flashing eyes, his head surrounded with rays. What element of a myth does this excerpt contain? A description about a historical event a lesson about the difficulties of life an exploration of human behavior an explanation of the natural world

The correct answer is the last option "<em>an explanation of the natural world</em>" because myths try to explain natural occurrences and express beliefs of a certain culture, in this case, we are talking about Greek mythology in which it is clear that the elements in myths were early man's desire to explain the universe, often in anthropomorphic figures, as Zeus has the power of thunder or in this excerpt helios where the one who brings the light into the day. One of the most important elements of Greek myths is magic realted to powers in nature. It's not "<em>A description about a historical event</em>" because myth is the explanation of the origins of the life and natural world in ancient times where people couldn't rely on science so they create stories to provide an explanation about their world but they are not necessarily true or historical as we know today that thunder comes from clouds instead of believing that it was Zeus the god of thunder. On the other hand, It's not "<em>a lesson about difficulties of life</em>" because this myth of Helios talks about his duties as a god and also a description of the chariot and himself, it doesn't talk about his problems or how he solve them to teach us a lesson. Finally, it's not "<em>an explanation of human behavior</em>" because it's very difficult to identify our behavior as humans in comparison to gods in Greek myths. They are different from us, they have power and abilities in order to create and sustain the world. It is possible to find an explanation of human behavior in other stories where humans were part of the plot but not in this specific case.

In a few paragraphs, what was William Shakespeare's education?
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:  <em>Shakespeare probably began his education at the age of six or seven at the Stratford grammar school. Although we have no record of Shakespeare attending the school. It seems most likely he would've attended the Stratford Grammar School. Like most all of the great poets and dramatists of the time, Shakespeare learned his basic reading and writing skills from an ABC, or horn-book. Shakespeare's daily activities after he left school and before he re-emerged as a professional actor in the late 1580s are impossible to trace. </em>

Explanation: I hope this helps. :)

In a short story, an old man carefully removes from his cupboards a set of
hram777 [196]

Answer:

D. The beauty of the everyday and the importance of small rituals

Explanation:

Making a tee doesn't seem as much of a problem or a task that takes a big effort.

However, in this story, we see this old man passionately and carefully completing this everyday task. He carefully opens his teacups set, carefully calculates the amount of tea needed, peacefully waits for the water to boil, enjoys the smell of the tee and finally shares cup of tea with his wife enjoying in the time they spent together.

This process could've been done in a much faster pace, more hectically, doing something else simultaneously, and the result would've been the same - a cup of tea with his wife.

But, by showing us all these small rituals and careful preparation, this story conveys the importance of enjoying small, everyday things and helps us see the beauty in them.
