Read the excerpt from "The Royal House of Thebes. " There were seven champions to attack the seven gates of Thebes, and seven ot

hers within as bold to defend them. Eteocles defended the gate which Polyneices attacked, and Antigone and Ismene within the palace waited to hear which had killed the other. But before any decisive combat had taken place, a youth in Thebes not yet grown to manhood had died for his country and in his death had shown himself the noblest of all. This was Creon's younger son, Menoeceus. How does the archetype presented in the excerpt support the universal theme of loyalty to one's country? Antigone and Ismene act cowardly by hiding inside the castle, but it proves their loyalty. The warrior Polyneices attacks Eteocles, which proves he is loyal to his country. Eteocles defends Thebes against his own brother, proving his loyalty. Creon kills his son, which shows that he demands loyalty.

Answer:

c) Eteocles defends Thebes against his own brother proving his loyalty.

Explanation:

Because of his decision to stand up for Thebes despite the fact that it meant going up against his own brother, Eteocles has shown his unwavering devotion to the city. It shows that he is a loyal person, regardless of his family's blood ties. Putting one's country before one's own family is one of the greatest acts of patriotism one can commit.

Point out the triple parallelism in the first verse. Explain how it forms a progression.
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer and Explanation:

The triple parallelism can be found in the lines "who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers," where the author shows a progression on the type of people the righteous , that is, God's chosen ones cannot keep company.

Parallelism is a literary resource that presents sentences located in sequence, which present the same structure and strength within a text.
