Based on this play, one might conclude that in Ancient Greece, people believed the gods —

A.grew angry with those who were driven by pride
B.could influence romance between men and women
C. tested humans by tempting them with golden apples
D.rewarded those who performed well at feats of strength

Answer 1

B.could influence romance between men and women

Step-by-step explanation:

A. is not the right answer. The gods would not get angry when people were driven by pride, only when their pride would make them compete with them.

B. is the right answer. Gods in the myths would often intervene with the everyday life of the mortals, and this included the romantic events. In the play, we see an example of this.

C. is not the correct answer. The tempting with the apple was only one-time happening in one specific myth.

D. is not the right answer. Gods would usually not reward based on the performed strength alone.
