Question

What directly causes the Athenians to hide in their homes? A) the return of spring B) the arrival of the Cretan soldiers C) the arrival of Theseu D) the oppressive rule of King Aegeus

Answer 1

B) the arrival of the Cretan soldiers

Step-by-step explanation:

Cretan soldiers had the ability to promote fear in the hearts of Athenians who knew the aggressive and destructive military tactics that Cretans possessed, in addition to their thirst for victories against the populations they were fighting. Fearing scenarios of violence and the insecurity that settled in Athens, after the arrival of soldiers from Crete, the Athenians hid in their homes, to protect themselves.
