In "The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County", by Mark Twain, what the reader concludes about the story that Simon Wheeler is going to tell the narrator is <em>A) The story will be long and tedious</em>. Wheeler uses long descriptive sentences with bad grammar, and full of dialect.  " ...if I asked old Wheeler  about him,... he would... bore me nearly to  death with some infernal reminiscence of him as long and tedious as it should be useless to me."

What does this excerpt most suggest about the beliefs of the ancient Greeks?
tekilochka [14]

After reading the excerpt from "The Odyssey," we can say the author suggests the following about the beliefs of the ancient Greeks:

D. They believed that the gods often punished people for acting badly.

<h3>How do gods act in "The Odyssey"?</h3>
  • Gods from the ancient Greek mythology are often interfering in the lives of humans in the epic poem "The Odyssey." They can offer help, but they also frequently punish humans for their bad actions.

<h3>How about the excerpt?</h3>
  • In the excerpt we are analyzing here, the god Zeus is punishing Odysseus and his men with a terrible storm. The men soon begin to fear for their life, until Zeus's fury finally fades.
  • As a matter of fact, Odysseus and his men are often being punished by the gods, especially Poseidon, the god of the seas. Whenever they disobey or challenge the gods, they meet with hardship and even death.

With that in mind, we can choose letter D as the best option concerning the ancient Greek's beliefs.

This is the excerpt the question is about:

<em>Now Zeus the lord of cloud roused in the north </em>

<em>a storm against the ships, and driving veils </em>

<em>of squall moved down like night on land and sea. </em>

<em>The bows went plunging at the gust; sails </em>

<em>cracked and lashed out strips in the big wind. </em>

<em>We saw death in that fury, dropped the yards, </em>

<em>unshipped the oars, and pulled for the nearest lee: </em>

<em>then two long days and nights we lay offshore </em>

<em>worn out and sick at heart, tasting our grief, </em>

<em>until a third Dawn came with ringlets shining.</em>
