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

History
1 answer:
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.

This Supreme Court ruling stated slaves did not have a right to sue since they were not citizens, but merely property.
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

"Dred Scott Decision," which was very controversial.

Explanation:

DRED SCOTT DECISION where the Supreme Court ruling stated slaves did not have a right to sue since they were not citizens, but merely property.

These were their arguments.

Dred Scott:

When a person enters a free State or territory, the free status overrides the previous condition of servitude. Since slavery was forbidden in the free States and territories by

federal and State laws, Dred Scott became free when he entered Illinois and Wisconsin.

Sandford:

To deprive a person of property (in this case, Dred Scott) without due process or just compensation violated the 5th Amendment, which states that “No person shall be… deprived of life, liberty or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.” Dred Scott was still a slave and no master's property rights could be limited or taken away by a State or federal law.
