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 ten-sentence paragraph, explain how the story “By the Waters of Babylon” would change if it were told from John's father's
Veronika [31]

By the Waters of Babylon” would change if it were told from John's father's point of view as it'll reveal the perspective of the father.

<h3>How to explain the story?</h3>

The plot follows John as he travels on his initiation quest to prove himself to his tribe as a man and a priest. John bases his journey decisions on visions and his interpretation of the signs he sees in the natural world. John breaks many of his tribe's laws because of his thirst for knowledge.

John learns chants, spells, and other mysteries from the priests. He picks up wound-healing techniques as well as the "old method" of reading and writing. John explains that although if a lot of the priests' work isn't actually magic, his father feels it's okay to let other people think it is.
