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.

Humbleness was also key for an Anglo-Saxon hero as it proved respectability and honor towards the hero. Anglo-Saxons wanted their hero to prove their strength and courage, however, they did not want the hero to become a dictator of any kind. Strong friendships were known as the most trustable alliances an Anglo-Saxon hero could form for battles (Trekker2392). It was key for an Anglo-Saxon hero to have the ability to create strong friendships around him. Beowulf perfectly identifies to all five of these main characteristics throughout the epic poem. Courage, bravery, and strength are three heroic Anglo-Saxon characteristics that tie together perfectly. Without courage, you will not have strength and bravery. Without strength and bravery, you will not have the courage to face your challenges. Anglo-Saxons believed three of these characteristics were perfectly interwoven in the ideal Anglo-Saxon hero (Garcia).
