The Odyssey: Symbolism and Making Predictions, Part 5
Question 1 of 3 • Common Core ELA 9 - ELA3009 A-CR
Based on Greek values and the story so far, which statement provides additional support for a prediction that Antinous will die?
Answer
A
Antinous wants to have pride, glory, fame, and reputation, and the easiest way for him to do so is to take over Odysseus’s kingdom.
B
Antinous is defending his home, his cattle, and his food, and those who defend what is most important to them are willing to sacrifice their own lives.
C
Antinous goes against the Greek values of hospitality and generosity, and those who go against Greek values tend to be punished in The Odyssey.
