How are the Greek values of family and perseverance shown through Odysseus’s return home?

<span>Although we see these values, we must also recognize the tremendous double standard between genders at play here. That Homer never reproaches Odysseus for his extracurricular romances but condemns the unfaithful women in the poem recalls Calypso’s angry statement about the double standard for immortals: male gods are allowed to take mortal lovers, while female goddesses are not. Likewise, men such as Odysseus have some freedom to "wander" sexually during their geographical wanderings -- so long as they are ultimately faithful to their home -- while Penelope and the other women in The Odyssey are chastised for their lack of chastity. Indeed, Odysseus does remain true to Penelope in his heart, and his desire to reunite with her drives his faithful journey. Fidelity is also central at the end of the poem, when Odysseus tests the loyalties of his servants and punishes those who have betrayed him.</span>

Answer:

Odysseus returns successfully to Ithaca to reclaim his throne and his family. He triumphed over many challenges and never gave up on his family. His return shows how important family was to the Greeks and how necessary it is to never give up.

what is the primary lesson that wiesel teaches us in night? choose specific characters and scenes which convey this lesson
meriva
Wiesel's primary purpose for teaching Night is to show the horrors of the Holocaust so that the world will never forget and make the same mistake again. In chapter one of the novel, Wiesel repeatedly shows how the citizens of Sighet ignored signs of the Nazi occupation. He explains how they downplayed what was happening to them when they were forced to wear the star and officers were quartered in their homes. He wants the world to remember how easily it is for atrocities to occur when people do nothing. When remembering his first night in camp, Wiesel writes, "Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, that turned my life into one long night seven times sealed. Never shall I forget that smoke. Never shall I forget the small faces of the children whose bodies I saw transformed into smoke under a silent sky...Never shall I forget those things, even were I condemned to live as long as God Himself. Never." The repetition of "Never shall I forget" pleads with the reader to remember as well as emphasizes the horrors. Remember the horrors of the Holocaust and never repeat them.

Select the correct answer. Lyra and Donna are testing the two-way radios they built for their high school science project. Lyra
klio [65]

Answer:

yra is 22 meters above the entrance.

The radios work until Donna is 50 meters away from the entrance.

At that moment, Lyra, Donna, and the entrance form a right triangle.

The hypotenuse is the actual distance between Lyra and Donna.

          Distance  =  √ (22² + 50²)

                        =   √ (484 m² + 2,500 m²)

                        =    √ (2984 m²)

                        =        54.63 meters.

Rounded to the nearest meter,    Distance = 55 meters.

THAT's the maximum point-to-point range of the radios

Explain how Wilder's theme in Our Town encompasses universal man.
lesantik [10]

Again and again the universality of human experience is stressed within the play. The Stage Manager himself is more than just a chorus; he is a universal figure outside of time and space because he can talk to the audience, the characters in the play, and even the dead in the cemetery. The storyline in the play has a very large universality. When people read or watch Our Town, they'll realize that this play could have happened anywhere, in any time, to any one of us.
