First of all Zeus has no mother.In this sense he is like Athene because she was born from his forehead and has no mother either.She is the godess of wisdom and on many ocassions Zeus is sought for advice on the same matter.Both are corageous and wise.Zeus seems to have this ability to procreate and Athene is also godd at giving birth to inventions useful for men.Also they are the older gods together with Dionysious.She acts on her own initiative without asking Zeus and the god, in turn acts according to his will without asking any other.Both usually work together and are the most powerful of the gods.

The correct answer is:

Both are interested in human affairs.

Explanation:

In The Illiad of Homer, as well as in Greek Mythology, Zeus is the most powerful God, he is the King of Gods, and although he tries not to interfere in human battles, he finds himself constantly interfering. He acts as a moderator because he secretly sides with the Trojans, while the other Gods side with the Achaeans.

Athena is the daughter of Zeus, and the Goddess of Wisdom; she hates the Trojans and constantly interferes on the Trojan Wars. She offers the Achaeans aid, she acts as a counselor and supports them, people pray to her and asks her for wisdom. Athena is seen as a manipulator during the Trojan Wars. Even though Zeus demands the Gods not to interfere in human affairs, Athena and him are constantly interfering.

statuscvo [17]

The correct answer is A. The artist portrays Pandora as she looks upon the jar with absolute focus. We can see the ocean in the background, but she is oblivious to it. All she can see is the jar, and we feel the gut-wrenching curiosity that torments her. In the painting she does not open the jar, but from her face we can tell that she probably will.

Which group of English people wanted to break away from the Anglican Church (Church of England)?

Svet_ta [14]

The answer is letter d (Puritans). The puritans were a group of reformist Protestants who came about during the 16th and 17th Century. They were called Puritans because they wanted to remove Roman Catholic practices and customs from the Church of England. They came in after the Ascension of Elizabeth I. However they had more in common with Calvinists rather than with the Church of England. They were not barred from implementing their reforms on the Church. Puritans were divided into two groups. The first group remained with the Church of England while other was in favor of completely severing ties with the Church.
