First of all Zeus has no mother.In this sense he is like Athene because she was born from his forehead and has no mother either.She is the godess of wisdom and on many ocassions Zeus is sought for advice on the same matter.Both are corageous and wise.Zeus seems to have this ability to procreate and Athene is also godd at giving birth to inventions useful for men.Also they are the older gods together with Dionysious.She acts on her own initiative without asking Zeus and the god, in turn acts according to his will without asking any other.Both usually work together and are the most powerful of the gods.

The correct answer is:

Both are interested in human affairs.

Explanation:

In The Illiad of Homer, as well as in Greek Mythology, Zeus is the most powerful God, he is the King of Gods, and although he tries not to interfere in human battles, he finds himself constantly interfering. He acts as a moderator because he secretly sides with the Trojans, while the other Gods side with the Achaeans.

Athena is the daughter of Zeus, and the Goddess of Wisdom; she hates the Trojans and constantly interferes on the Trojan Wars. She offers the Achaeans aid, she acts as a counselor and supports them, people pray to her and asks her for wisdom. Athena is seen as a manipulator during the Trojan Wars. Even though Zeus demands the Gods not to interfere in human affairs, Athena and him are constantly interfering.

Compare and contrast W. H. Auden's "Musée des Beaux Arts" and William Carlos Williams's "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus."

What similarities and differences do you see in the way the poets present ideas to the reader?

The most important similarity between W.H. Auden and William Carlos Williams' poems is that both describe Pieter Brueghel's painting Landscape With The Fall of Icarus. Both poets illustrate the scene and all its surroundings with detail. Both poets exemplify with imagery the painting's scene and what it depicts.

Nevertheless, the poets do differ in other elements:

Auden presents his poem using free verse and divides it into two long stanzas without any rhyme. Although William Carlos Williams doesn't use rhyme either, he keeps a more traditional construction by dividing the poem into six stanzas with three lines in each.

Auden reflects on suffering and the burden of routine depicted in the painting with more delicate and meditative observations. He mentions Icarus in the second stanza and contemplates his psyche in a deeper way. Williams, on the other hand, presents his ideas in a concise manner. He states the reader the facts and describes the painting with concrete examples. He mentions Icarus since the first stanza but doesn't concentrate on what he might have felt or what others might be feeling in that precise moment.

Auden sensed the painting and tells the reader his experience when he saw it. Williams is an observer. He tells the reader a descriptive summary of what he saw without delving into his inner experience and thoughts.

Although Sorrentino says that he did not intend to create an allegory or specific symbols, many readers find symbolism in the st

larisa [96]

The story "There's a Man in the Habit of Hitting Me on the Head with an Umbrella" can be understood from various different perspectives. Even though Sorrentino claims to not have written it as a symbol for anything, the narrative can be understood as a symbol of life itself.

The man with the umbrella is completely random and inescrutable. The man receiving the blows has no idea why he is the recepient, or what motivates the other man. His only option is to take the blows. This is similar to how we face hardships in life. We just have to accept that tragedy is sometimes random. Moreover, the protagonist eventually gets used to this situation, in the same way we can get used to any problem we have in life.
