The answer is: a heavenly muse.

John Milton follows in the tradition of other great philosophers, who, after Parmenides of Elea (who at the beginning of his poem, <em>On Nature, </em>is escorted by the daughters of the Sun, the god Helios, in the pursuit of his difficult journey) raise their voice to the heavens and the gods in order to request their assistance in tackling such a burdensome and difficult enterprise, which is the pursuit of knowledge about difficult, obscure or challenging topics. In the case of Milton, he asks, in his epic poem, <em>Paradise Lost, </em>for the assistance of a heavenly muse in order to explain the problem of evil and suffering and why God would allow them.

Answer the question below based on the passage “The Myth of Tantalus”.
Assoli18 [71]

After reading the passage about Tantalus, we can conclude the following about him:

Tantalus most likely wished he had friends.

<h3>Who is Tantalus?</h3>
  • Tantalus is a Greek mythology character. As a matter of fact, it is from his name that the verb "tantalize" is derived. Tantalus was the son of the god Zeus with a nymph and, for that reason, he was friends with the gods and allowed in heaven.
  • However, Tantalus used his access to heaven to sin against the gods. He stole nectar and ambrosia from them to give to humans. He also killed his own son and served him for the gods to eat to test the gods.
  • For that reason, he was punished by being imprisoned in Hades, a mythological hell, where he could not reach the water and the food that were right in front of him.

<h3>What can we infer from the passage?</h3>
  • The passage says that the night Tantalus spent with fellow mortals was glorious. He was happy because he felt as if he had actual friends. With that piece of information, we can infer that Tantalus wished he has friends, that he craved this sort of intimacy with other mortals.
