Describe what the name Epimetheus means​

English
1 answer:
nexus9112 [7]2 years ago
3 0
Epimetheus was one of the Titans, son of Iapetus and Clymene. He was the brother of Prometheus, Atlas and Menoetius. His name is derived from the Greek word meaning 'afterthought', which is the antonym of his brother's name, Prometheus, meaning 'forethought'. In this context, Epimetheus appeared as a foolish character, while Prometheus was the clever one.
Prometheus and Epimetheus were told to distribute characteristics to the newly created animals. Epimetheus started giving a positive trait to every animal, but lacking foresight, he realised that he had distributed all traits without having any left to give to man. So, Prometheus gave mankind the civilizing arts and fire.

Question 13 (Fill-In-The-Blank Worth 1 points) Write the TWO object pronouns (lowercase and separated with a space) that would c
quester [9]

Answer:

Nosotros te los compramos.

Explanation:

In Spanish, the words "te" and "los" are direct pronouns, and represent a replacement for both indirect and direct objects. The direct object in the original sentence is "los boletos" (the tickets), and the indirect object would be "ti" (you).

To be clearer:

<u />

<u>Nosotros</u> <u>compramos</u> <u>los boletos</u> <u>para ti</u>.

[subject]      [verb]     [direct obj.] [indirect obj.]

Is replaced by:

<u>Nosotros</u>           <u>te</u>                     <u>los</u>                 <u>compramos.</u>

<u>[</u>Subject]  [indirect obj.]  [direct object]          [verb]

Thus, "te" corresponds to "para ti" and "los" corresponds to "los boletos".

Thoreau rejects many things as inessential or unimportant. List at least three things that were important to him, citing specifi
hodyreva [135]
Thoreau was a philosopher, a naturalist and author. These propose the things that were significant to him. One of his quotes are, “Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.”A philosopher means a person who is looking for truth. He felt that he needed freedom to follow his study of nature and to have a mind that was able, pure, and unique. So philosophy and independence were two of the many things that were significant to him. He could not rely on completely on wildlife and his own awareness for teaching. Another thing that was significant to him was his writing. He wrote lots of words and his printed writings fill twenty volumes. So this appears that the three things that were significant to him was nature, philosophy, and freedom.
