I am pretty sure about the second excerpt, it directly shows gods' involvement in mortal affairs
Then thus Minerva in Laertes' ear:"Son of Arcesius, reverend warrior, hear!Jove and Jove's daughter first implore in prayer,Then, whirling high, discharge thy lance in air."

4. by? I know for sure it not 1. for and 3. from.

Above her, beneath her, and around her, the Machine hummed eternally; she did not notice the noise, for she had been born with it in her ears. The earth, carrying her, hummed as it sped through silence, turning her now to the invisible sun, now to the invisible stars. She awoke and made the room light."

Here there is no direct interaction with nature or outside.
