Hamlet says that comparing his father to Claudius is like comparing "Hyperion to a satyr." Hyperion is an ancient Greek god of light. A satyr is a creature that is half man and half goat.

What does Hamlet’s allusion suggest?

King Claudius is very similar to Hamlet’s father.
King Claudius is a better king than Hamlet’s father was.
Hamlet’s father was far superior to King Claudius.
