Based on Chapter 4 of "Wheels of Change," the quoatation that helps develop the central idea that some people did not support the idea of women participating in cycling races is the following:
In 1896, Sporting Life applauded what the newspaper saw as the failure of a recent six-day women's bicycle race in New York City, declaring, "This ensures that the disgusting and degrading exhibition will not soon be repeated.”
The quote specifically states that some thought that women cycling was "disgusting" and "degrading." The speaker believed that due to the disaster of the six-day women's bicycle race in New York City, that women would not be cycling again anytime soon, which is how it should be.
I believe the answer is archetypal symbols.
Thetis tells Achilles that he has the choice to either return home and live a long life without glory, or die a glorious death fighting at Troy. ... Achilles decides to fight, knowing that he is sealing his fate when he returns to battle. Ultimately, the relationship between fate and free will in the Iliad remains unclear.
