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.

I am so lonely, afraid, and I want nothing more than to be home and out of this miserable place. I don’t know why Pluto brought me here. Whatever his reasoning is, I hate it so much here. I want to get out of this pit of darkness and go home to see my mother. Maybe there is somewhere I can go to explore this place.

[START OF NEW PARAGRAPH] I walked out of the palace and looked around the grounds when I came upon an opening in the fence. I slipped through and saw what looked like an old, run down greenhouse. I opened the door and stepped inside to see many withered, dead plants. I walked around and all the began to come back to life just with my presence being there. I gave all the plants some water right before Pluto walked in on me.

[START OF NEW PARAGRAPH] Pluto was very upset to find me in here and screamed at me and told me to get out of here. I ran out passed him and went back to my room and locked myself in. I sat in bed awake all night because I kept on wondering why Pluto got so upset when he found me in the greenhouse. What happened to him to make him the way that he is? I kept on pondering until I eventually fell asleep. The next morning, I woke up and went downstairs to the kitchen.

[START OF NEW PARAGRAPH] I found Pluto sitting at the head of the table sipping on some wine. “Hello Proserpina. Come sit, I need to speak with you,” Pluto said. I slowly made my way over to the chair next to Pluto and took my seat. He told me that the greenhouse used to belong to his mother and she loved flowers. He told me about his childhood and his past, and we actually had a heart to heart conversation.

[START OF NEW PARAGRAPH] A few weeks went by and I haven’t eaten anything since I arrived. Pluto sent his servants to bring back some fruit from the earth, but all they could find was a single withered pomegranate. Pluto tried to offer the piece of fruit, Proserpina [Unrelated to your question but I think that it's supposed to be 'I' instead of 'Proserpina'] said no at first, but then after Pluto left the room I bit into the pomegranate and kept six of the seeds in my mouth. Pluto came back into the room with a guy named Quicksilver. Pluto came in and told me that I could go home to my mother. I was overcome by joy and gladly went with Quicksilver back home.
