Of deities or mortals, or of both, . . .

Answer:

C). The entire Grecian urn

Step-by-step explanation:

In the lines from "Ode on a Grecian Urn," by John Keats, the speaker talks directly to an antique urn at a museum. In that matter, he claims that the urn has lived peacefully and silently inside the musem or at some Greek remains for a long time. He also considers the urn a historian that lived in the woods, whose pictures can tell stories. In fact, he wonders whether those stories are legends, gods or human beings.
