<span>The literal meaning of pouring poison is a person's ear in "Hamlet" is that they are telling lies to people to mislead them and as a result they are pouring poisons lies in that persons ear. The symbolic meaning of pouring poison in a person's ear, reminds of the symbolic meaning of the snake in The Garden of Eden. The snake stood for lies, misleading a person, and evil, which ties into the meaning of pouring poison in a person's ear. How? Well the poison be poured into that person's ear is to mislead them into doing wrong, or to do things that were against there better judgment, which is exactly what happened to Eve in The Garden of Eden. The snake (aka the Devil) talked to Eve about The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.</span>

What is the roman name hyperion
inn [45]

HYPERION was the Titan god of heavenly light, one of the sons of Ouranos (Uranus, Heaven) and Gaia (Gaea, Earth), and the father of the lights of heaven--Eos the Dawn, Helios the Sun, and Selene the Moon. His wife was Theia, lady of the aither--the shining blue of the sky. Hyperion's name means "watcher from above" or "he who goes above" from the greek words hyper and iôn.

Hyperion was one of four Titan brothers who conspired with Kronos (Cronus) to castrate and depose their father Ouranos. When Sky descended to lie with Earth, Hyperion, Krios (Crius), Koios (Coeus) and Iapetos (Iapetus)--posted at the four corners of the world--seized hold of their father and held him fast while Kronos castrated him with a sickle. In this myth these four Titanes (Titans) personify the great pillars holding heaven and earth apart or the entire cosmos aloft described in Near-Eastern cosmogonies. As the father of the sun and dawn, Hyperion was no doubt regarded as the Titan of the pillar of the east. His brothers Koios, Krios and Iapetos presided respectively over the north, south and west.

The Titanes (Titans) were eventually deposed by Zeus and cast into the pit of Tartaros (Tartarus). Hesiod describes this as a void located beneath the foundations of all, where earth, sea and sky have their roots. Here the Titanes shift in cosmological terms from being holders of heaven to bearers of the entire cosmos. According to Pindar and Aeschylus (in his lost play Prometheus Unbound) the Titanes were eventually released from the pit through the clemency of Zeus.

Which statement from FDR's speeches uses parallel structure?
Zolol [24]
I'd say that the statement from FDR's speeches that uses parallel structure is C. American ships have been sunk; American airplanes have been destroyed.
Both of these independent clauses use the passive form of the verb - in the first clause, the passive form of the verb <em>to sink </em>is used, and in the second, of the verb <em>to destroy.
</em>A parallel structure means that throughout a sentence, the same form of words is used, and given that here both sentences have passive forms, I'd say C is the correct answer.<em>
