(20 POINTS!) Who is the speaker in this excerpt from Book 13 of Homer’s Odyssey, and what inference can you make from the tone?

Shall then no more, O sire of gods! be mine The rights and honours of a power divine? Scorn'd e'en by man, and (oh severe disgrace!) By soft Phaeacians, my degenerate race! Against yon destined head in vain I swore, And menaced vengeance, ere he reach'd his shore; To reach his natal shore was thy decree; Mild I obey'd, for who shall war with thee? Behold him landed, careless and asleep, From all the eluded dangers of the deep; Lo where he lies, amidst a shining store Of brass, rich garments, and refulgent ore; And bears triumphant to his native isle A prize more worth than Ilion's noble spoil. The speaker in the excerpt is (Neptune, Jove, Minerva). The tone demonstrates (concern about Ulysses safety in Ithica, hope for the safe return of the Phaeacians, anger at seeing Ulysses reach Ithica safely). The answers are the options in parenthesis.

The speaker in the excerpt is Neptune. Neptune, in Roman mythology (although Greeks sometimes used their names too), is Poseidon in Greek mythology. He is the god of the seas, and he was one of the gods who was against Odysseus and wanted to destroy him - this is why it took Ulysses/Odysseus so long to come back home to Ithaca. The tone demonstrates anger at seeing Ulysses reach Ithaca safely. As I said, he wanted Ulysses dead, which is why he wasn't happy when he finally got home against his will.

Mkey [24]

Answer:

Athanasius thought of the gold as an opportunity to help people whereas John fled from the scene as if he was being chased by a monster thinking that taking gold out of somewhere was a sin.

Explanation:

   Athanasius wanted to take the gold as he saw no sin in helping the neighbor population with it but everything John felt was fear as soon as he saw the gold.

   John was a man of simple ethics and lifestyle and didn't want any complications to his life.

   Athanasius was a man of his own doings and always liked to think otherwise. He believed the bag of gold was a gift from an angel.

   John believed in changing things for people by on's hard work and determination.

   Both the brothers varied with different perspectives on life.

VashaNatasha [74]

There are two people holding on to the edge of a cliff. One is your mother, one is your grandfather. The cliff is weak under the three of you so you only have time to save one person. Who would you save? I would try to figure out who is more at risk, and I would consider the condition of both my mother and my grandfather. In the end I would either try to save both and risk the death of all three of us, or save my mother who is young and healthy.

Copy and paste, hope this helps! <3
