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.

The following sentence contains _____.
-Dominant- [34]
Let's define these types of clauses. Adjective clauses can serve as a multi-word adjective, basically. Noun clauses can serve as a multi-word noun, with a subject and verb, but remember, they are still dependent. Adverb clauses start with a subordinating conjunction. Now let's dissect this sentence. 

"It is not right" independent clause
"to make a promise" adjective clause
"unless one is sure he can fulfill the promise" adverb clause

the answer is "one adverb clause and one adjective clause"

Based on what you know about Macbeth, what predictions could you make about the relationship between Hamilton and Jefferson?
pychu [463]

When applying our knowledge of "Macbeth," we can make the following predictions about the relationship between Hamilton and Jefferson:

- The relationship between Hamilton and Jefferson will be filled with rivalry just like the relationship between Macbeth and Macduff.

There a lot of similarities between the story of Macbeth, as portrayed in the homonymous play by Shakespeare, and the story of Alexander Hamilton, one of the founding fathers of the United States.

First, both stories have a central force driving the two men: ambition. And it is ambition that leads both Macbeth and Hamilton to death.

Applying our knowledge of Macbeth to Hamilton's life, we can also predict that his relationship with Jefferson will be rocky and filled with rivalry.

Thomas Jefferson is to Hamilton what Macduff is to Macbeth: an enemy, an opponent.

Jefferson will try his best to frustrate Hamilton's plans and endeavors just like Macduff will try his best to defeat Macbeth.
