Answer:

The Strophe 2 is the speaker, saying it to the rest of the chorus, when the chorus were addressing Oedipus's fate

The addressee is Oedipus.

The significance is that the Chorus are saying that anyone who believes they are as high as the immortal gods will be punished by an inevitable fate, this follows in the wake of Oedipus's pride and haughtiness and subsequent punishment.

Explanation:

Oedipus let his pride stop him from listening to the truth and he was haughty all through the play, so the chorus discussed his fate.

This extract was in reference to him, telling him that the punishment for his crime of haughtiness and pride, and his assumption that he is equal to the gods is inevitable. A fate which he accepted by blinding his own eyes.

Dante both uses and departs from the epic tradition. In a paragraph, give at least one example of each kind and explain why he u
katrin [286]

Hm, this is a tough one. If you <em>use</em> this make sure to <u>rearrange</u> some of the sections and add in some of <em>your own words</em>, ok?


   Dante Alighieri was a very <em>untraditional</em> writer, for unlike most other writers he sometimes followed the traditions yet he wasn't afraid to deviate and modify the old epic traditions. Most epics tell the adventures of a hero of old who vanquished evil, and to be honest Dante does recount a hero's journey. There is a major difference though between his and traditions though, because he varies this tradition by making himself the <u>theme/hero/subject/ect</u> of the epic called the Divine Comedy.

    Epic poets were traditionally pagan and so they would often call on the Muses, known as patron goddesses of the arts, for their inspirations and to help guide their poems. Unlike them Dante was a Christian, and he refused to use the pagan gods <em>"gods"</em> in this epic. Instead he utilizes the Latin poet Virgil whom he calls <em>"my mentor"</em> and Dante's childhood hero Bice Portinari, whom he gave the name Beatrice as guides for the main character throughout the story.

    Epics traditionally begin in "media res" which is Latin for "in the middle." Dante follows this tradition, although it's in his own unique way, by beginning the Divine Comedy <em>"halfway through the journey we are living,"</em> or in other words <em>"in the middle of his life"</em>.

    Many of the epic poems of this time period state the theme of the poem at the very beginning. Likewise, Dante begins to describes in the first stanzas of his poem his fear and disquiet but then he offers a vision of hope to the readers. He says that <em>"to describe the good discovered there / I here will tell the other things I saw"</em>.

<h3><em>If</em> you have anymore <u><em>questions</em></u> please be sure to ask and/or send me <em>a </em>friend request. I'm <em>always up for</em> a <em>challenge</em>. </h3><h2><em>Thanks!</em></h2>
