Analyzing Ekphrastic Poetry

Question 117011 • CA-English Language Arts 12 B – 1744

What detail of the myth is suggested in the poem but not in the painting?[___]

Answer
A
Icarus falling into the water
B
the sun melting Icarus's wings
C
the sun shining on the water

Explanation

The poem refers to Icarus’s fall, but the painting shows only the aftermath: his legs disappearing into the water. The sun is visible in the painting, but the image does not show it melting his wings. So the detail suggested by the poem but not shown in the painting is the sun melting Icarus’s wings.
