The reference to Neptune in this line of "The Olympic Swimmer." is most likely intended as a mythological allusion.

When refering to Neptune, the author of "The Olympic Swimmer" is alluding the god of freshwater and the sea in Roman religion. He is the counterpart of the Greek god Poseidon. Neptune was the brother of Jupiter and Pluto; the brothers presided over the realms of Heaven, the earthly world, and the Underworld. Salacia was his wife.

I'd say the correct answer is D - mythological. Because Neptune is the god of freshwater and the sea in Roman mythology, and he has a counterpart in Greek mythology - Poseidon.

Based on this passage of The Odyssey, one can conclude that the ancient Greeks greatly valued _______A. DemocracyB. BraveryC. Kn

pav-90 [236]

B - Bravery

Although you didn't provide the passage, there are various reasons as to why bravery is the answer.

A is incorrect as the Odyssey never focused on democracy as shown through kings of many lands since Odysseus himself was the king of Ithaca with his son being the rightful heir of the throne.

C, knowledge, is incorrect as characters in the Odyssey never valued knowledge. The Odyssey was filled with battles and overcoming hardships, not gaining knowledge and wisdom, thus ruling out C as the possible answer.

D, relaxation, is an answer you can immediately rule out. Throughout the Odyssey, the stories and the movies, you can see that all characters are constantly bustling and working for whatever they hope to accomplish. Although they may value relaxation, they seem to value work more so.

Hope this helps!

1) <span> The specific differences that I noticed in the two performances mentioned above are that t</span>he first one was very touching and totally emotional, I bet that the author wanted to make us go through this perfomance in the shouse of the characters but because of this decision it was kind of hard to concentrate on the words. In the seconfd performance these two points (emotional and textual) are balanced so it was more holistic.

2) The way how Michael Pennington reaches out to you as the audience in his performance of Hamlet's soliloquy is his personal attitude he expressed to those who came to watch it by looking right at the camera while delivering his soliloquy.

3) There is no photo or excerpt of the page that you have to analyze, and I can depend only on the Speech: “Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears” from Julius Caesar, spoken by Marc Antony. I think that any of line should be rid, or changed in tone, because this is the major point that shapes and reveals the Antony's character who is considered as a <span>superficial man.

Hope that helps!</span>
