But on the spot I told them: 'Back, and quickly! Out to sea again!' My men were mutinous, fools, on stores of wine. Sheep after

This was an army, trained to fight on horseback or, where the ground required, on foot. They came with dawn over that terrain like the leaves and blades of spring. So doom appeared to us, dark word of Zeus for us, our evil days. My men stood up and made a fight of it – backed on the ships, with lances kept in play, from bright morning through the blaze of noon holding our beach, although so far outnumbered –The Odyssey, Homer What can be learned about ancient Greeks from this passage?

From the above excerpt, it can be learned about the ancient Greeks that:

  They believed the gluttony and disobedience are negative traits.

They believed that the gods punish people for acting badly.

They believed in the importance of strength in battle.

Odysseus tells about his men who ate the sheep and drank the wine until their stomach was full. After they were full the Cicones' army attacked them which was a consequence of the butcher nature of his men. Greeks had the idea that the punishment for gluttony and disobedience is sure to come. They believed that one should be brave and fearless while fighting in a battle. For them, the God was omniscient who rewarded or punished people of their dead.

Read the incorrect sentence. Write three to five sentences explaining what kind of run-on sentence it is and how to revise it. M
shepuryov [24]
One way to fix that sentence is to switch around the two phrases used; 'My mother and father are both scientists' and 'It must have been my destiny to become interested in biology.'

It must have been my destiny to spark an interest in Biology, as my mother and father are both scientists.

That's a way to fix that sentence used in your question.

Also, 'destiny' was spelled incorrectly.

This sentence may seem run on if you don't place a conjunction between the two phrases, or if the phrases are not switched.

If the sentence is to be used with a conjunction, it may end up like this....

My mother and father are both scientists, so it must have been my destiny to become interested in biology.

Or, you may just use a period, to change the two phrases used into two separate sentences.

Like this;

My mother and father are both scientists. For that reason, it must have been my destiny to become interested in biology.

ALSO, as you can see above, I have added a few words to the last sentence. Those three words, 'For that reason', give closure to the two sentences.

Hope this helped!

statuscvo [17]

An allusion is an expression designed to touch a subject without doing it explicitly, we could say its an 'indirect' way to say something (most likely controversial).

In this letter Martin Luther King uses this technique to reference civil rights activists and clergymen which gained him mass support since they could relate to his point of view. Throughout the letter he justifies his cause in the name of justice.


Hope this helps :)
