Answer:

1. <u>Who made Tiresias blind?</u>

Tiresias was blind from his youth. He was perhaps the best known soothsayer from Thebes. As already stated, there are different traditions as to why he was blind.

One tradition says that he was blinded by the gods for revealing things to mankind that were for the gods alone. Another tradition states he was blinded by Athena for seeing her bathing naked. His mother prayed to Athena to restore his sight. Athena could not restore his sight, but instead gave him inner sight, or the ability to prophesy.

A final tradition states that Tiresias was walking and saw a male and female snake copulating. He struck at them killing the female serpent. For punishment he was turned into a woman. Seven years later he saw another pair of serpents and killing the male snake he was turned into a male. Having lived the life of both a woman and man, Zeus and Hera came to him in their dispute over who had more pleasure in sex. Tiresias said the woman enjoyed sex more. Outraged, Hera blinded him. Zeus rewarded Tiresias with prophecy and long life.

2. <u>Who felt guilty about it and gave Tiresias the gift of knowing everything?</u>

<u>Athena</u> didn’t give him back his sight. But to make up for the punishment, she gave him the gift of divination. She assured him that he wouldn’t lose it, even in death. Tiresias’ transsexuality. The second of the best-known versions of Tiresias’ origin says that he was walking in the fields one day when he saw two snakes mating.

Zeus, feeling sorry that Tiresias was blinded, gave him the gift of prophecy.

Zeus gave Tiresias the gift of second sight. Not surprisingly, from then on Tiresias lived the live of a reclusive ascetic - emerging only when there was a crisis in Thebes that needed his gifts.

Based on the evidence provided in the paragraph, what is the best prediction?
torisob [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is D) Devin will be disappointed by the weather.

Explanation:

Devin had started out the day before preparing for his game. He had dotted every 'I' and crossed every 'T'.

Given that the rain was intensifying at 7am, it's most likely that it would ruin the day. On the balance of probability, it is possible the game will be canceled due to flooding or just because the field might not be in the best shape for a game. It is also possible that Devin might sleep through the alarm given the cool weather induced by the rain.

Ultimately, Devin would most likely be disappointed.

Cheers

Lelechka [254]
The correct answer should b <span>The melting ice will lead to the extinction of the polar bear as a species.

While the bears certainly are in trouble, there are many papers that show that they will not just go extinct. There are many areas where the warming has actually led to a replacement of ice, from a multilayered thick one to a smaller one where the seals are found more and more. Bears in this area thrive and are better than ever. The number of bears is pretty high and they mostly adapt to the situation so their extinction is not a certainty.</span>
