Why does Atlas beg Perseus to show him Medusa's head?

History

maksim [4K]3 years ago
7 0

Some of the Roman writers tried to rationalize the story of Atlas holding up the sky by equating Atlas to mountains — specifically, the Atlas Mountains. They accomplish this using Medusa’s head.

The gist of the tale is that Perseus passed near Atlas’ location — at the far west of the known world (i.e. continental Europe and Northern Africa) — after slaying Medusa and asked for lodging and protection for the night. Atlas was rude and demanded Perseus to leave, prompting Perseus to expose the Titan to Medusa’s head and turn him into the mountain range. At no point, at least in any source that I know of, did Atlas explicitly ask to be turned to stone.

Basile [38]

Answer:

a) It has poisoned and killed them

Explanation:

Puget Sound, located in the northwestern coast of state of Washington in the United States of America, is a body of water that used to harbor thousands of marine wildlife species.

However, through constant monitoring, scientists have shown that hundreds to thousands of marine wildlife have disappeared due to pollution, especially single-use plastic bags, which have caused the death of thousands of whales and seabirds, and the presence of toxic chemicals and eutrophication, which have caused the reduction of oxygen levels in the water, leading to the death of many fish and marine mammals.
