Answer: Macbeth believes Banquo and his son represent a threat to the throne.
Explanation:
Shakespeare's play <em>Macbeth</em> is about a man who, obsessed with becoming a king, is ready to do anything to achieve his goal.
Having murdered King Duncan, Macbeth becomes a king. However, after hearing the prophecy of the Three Witches about Banquo's sons coming to the throne, he decides that Banquo and his son Fleance should be murdered. Macbeth also fears that Banquo will eventually become suspicious about the truth behind Duncan's murder. Macbeth's plan falls short, as Banquo is the only one who dies, while his son Fleance escapes.
Homer is best known as the author of the Iliad and the Odyssey. He was believed by the ancient Greeks to have been the first and greatest of the epic poets. Author of the first known literature of Europe, he is central to the Western canon.
When he lived, as well as whether he lived at all, is unknown. Herodotus estimates that Homer lived no more than 400 years before his own time, which would place him at around 850 BCE or later. Pseudo-Herodotus estimates that he was born 622 years before Xerxes I placed a pontoon bridge over the Hellespont in 480 BCE, which would place him at 1102 BCE, 168 years after the fall of Troy in 1270 BCE. These two end points are 252 years apart, representative of the differences in dates given by the other sources.
Hope this helped! :)
