<h3>Answer: False</h3>

=========================================================

Explanation:

The Merriam-Webster dictionary says in the etymology section that

<em>"Marathon, Greece, site of a victory of Greeks over Persians in 490 b.c., the news of which was carried to Athens by a long-distance runner". </em>

In other words, Marathon was named after a place to refer to the messenger who ran a very long distance.

When I used a translator, it said that the Greek word for month is μήνα which is pronounced "mina" in English.

shepuryov [24]

Hello there.

Via the prism of Greek philosophy, ancient Greek pottery allows one to explore women's positions as goddesses, keepers of home life. The portrayal of women as housekeepers offers a romanticized view of domestic life while still addressing sexual politics within the household.

Why did abortion become a central consideration in the appointment of the surpreme court justices?
Grace [21]

Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973), is a landmark decision by the United States Supreme Court on the issue of abortion. It was decided simultaneously with a companion case, Doe v. Bolton. The Court ruled 7–2 that a right to privacyunder the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment extended to a woman's decision to have an abortion, but that this right must be balanced against the state's interests in regulating abortions: protecting women's health and protecting the potentiality of human life.[1] Arguing that these state interests became stronger over the course of a pregnancy, the Court resolved this balancing test by tying state regulation of abortion to the third trimester of pregnancy.

Later, in Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992), the Court rejected Roe's trimester framework while affirming its central holding that a woman has a right to abortion until fetal viability.[2] The Roe decision defined "viable" as "potentially able to live outside the mother's womb, albeit with artificial aid."[3] Justices in Casey acknowledged that viability may occur at 23 or 24 weeks, or sometimes even earlier, in light of medical advances.[4]

In disallowing many state and federal restrictions on abortion in the United States,[5][6] Roe v. Wade prompted a national debate that continues today about issues including whether, and to what extent, abortion should be legal, who should decide the legality of abortion, what methods the Supreme Court should use in constitutional adjudication, and what the role should be of religious and moral views in the political sphere. Roe v. Wade reshaped national politics, dividing much of the United States into pro-abortion and anti-abortion camps, while activating grassroots movements on both sides.

Gilgamesh backed away, He said, "How dreadful Humbaba’s face has become! It is changing into a thousand nightmare faces, more ho
Sav [38]

The statement that best paraphrases evidence to support the conclusion that Gilgamesh is courageous is the last one: Despite his momentary horror at seeing Humbaba’s dreadful face, Gilgamesh overcomes his fear with encouragement from his companion.

Humbaba <em>the Terrible</em> was the guardian of the Cedar Forest, where the gods lived. Heroes Gilgamesh and his friend Enkidu went there in order to capture and slay the monster, but, upon seeing him, the brave Gilgamesh started to flee away from him, horrified by his features. Thanks to his companion, however, who reminds him of his strength and of their intimate friendship, which make them invincible, he is finally able to overcome his fear and kill the giant.

Why didn't Britain, France &amp; the US stop the Fascist aggression in the 1930's?
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

The allies did not stop fascist aggression in the 1930's because the liberal progressives of that era underestimated the danger. They wanted a stronger Germany to act as a buffer between the Soviet Union and the rest of Europe.
