Answer:

Homer's purpose in having Zeus recall the story of Agamemnon, Clytemnestra, Aegisthus, and Orestes in such detail might be to demonstrate the failures of men and their inability to listen or trust in the words of the gods.

Explanation:

In the hall of Zeus on Mount Olympos, all the gods but Poseidon gather and listen as Zeus reflects upon the moral failings of mortal men. He brings up the example of Aigisthos, who killed Agamemnon and stole his wife, though the gods warned him that Agamemnon's son, Orestes, would someday retaliate - which he justly did. Athena speaks on behalf of Odysseus, pleading with Zeus to free him from Calypso's grasp. He agrees, and the god Hermes will be sent to Calypso to ask her to free Odysseus.

I hope this helps you in any shape or form.

Why did demographers stop placing empasis on the decline in mortality as the cause of low birth rates? What other alternative mo
sdas [7]
They stopped placing emphasis on the decline of mortality because it fails to explain all the aspects of the problem. Sure, it is one of the reasons, but it can't provide the full picture. There are two alternative models: cultural influence, and economic and investment. Both of those models include education, as it strongly influences cultural models and improves chances of economic progress.

It is important to note that all of these models (decline in mortality, cultural influence, economic and investment) are partial and complementary: they should function together, as each of them explains only one aspect of the phenomenon.
