Answer and explanation:

In the famous epic poem "The Odyssey", Odysseus has spent the past couple of decades trying to return home after the war in Troy. When he finally comes home and kills the men who want to marry his wife, Penelope, he is unrecognizable - not only because of the time that has passed, but also because the goddess Athena changed his appearance. To test him and be sure if he truly is who he says he is, Penelope asks a servant to move their marriage bed. Odysseus gets angry at her order, since he built their bedroom around an olive tree and used the tree as a bedpost. His knowledge of that story and his anger show Penelope that man is truly the husband she's been faithfully waiting for.

Why is percival's revelation that the beast comes from the sea frightening?
tatuchka [14]

Percival tells the boys that the monster comes out of the sea in squid shape and afterward is a phantom ashore, so nobody can see it, however despite everything it assaults its prey.

Being trapped on an island without any grown-ups for solace could be exceptionally terrifying to a little kid! Such is the situation with Percival in William Golding's celebrated novel Lord of the Flies. Percival first winds up known as the 'littlun' who cries constantly.

In ancient Athens, how were citizens compensated for their participation in the Assembly or on juries?
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

FIRST: You had tell the person that you were going to start an action against them to be heard in "court". You had to bring witnesses with you so your witnesses could testify that the person was told why you were bringing an action, and that you had given this person a date, time, and location that they had to appear in court to defend themselves.

SECOND: You had to post a written notice near the courthouse that clearly stated the names of both parties, the charges, and the date, time, and location of your first trip to court on this action.

FIRST TIME IN COURT: The first trip gave both parties a chance to speak before a judge. If the judge felt there was enough cause, that judge would assign a trial date. That trial date had to be posted as well.

JURY SELECTION, TRIAL BY JURY: To be on a jury, you had to be a citizen. You had to be over 30 years of age. You had to swear that you would be fair to both sides. You did get paid. Juries were selected from volunteers. The number of jurors could be huge. Some trials had as many as 500 jurors who had volunteered to judge a case. Only the jury could bring in a decision that someone was guilty or innocent. The judge only kept order, but could not decide a trial outcome.

THE TRIAL: Both sides presented their case. Then the jurors voted. Majority ruled.

PUNISHMENT: Punishments varied. If found guilty, both sides, the person bringing the charge and the person being charged, suggested a punishment. The jury could not choose a third choice. They had to choice one suggestion or the other.
