snakes - 2024 ACF Fall - Buzzpoints App

Question

After striking one of these animals, a deity watched how it was revived with an herb and later used that same herb on Glaucus. For 10 points each:

[10e] Name these creatures, one of which wraps itself around the Greek god Asclepius’s (“uh-SKLEE-pee-uhs”) staff in a popular, and often misrepresented, medical symbol. Many of these creatures sit atop the heads of the Gorgons.

ANSWER: snakes [accept serpents]

[10h] Serpent healing has also been attributed to this deity, who lit torches for Demeter to search for Persephone. A black she-dog and polecat often accompanied this triple goddess.

ANSWER: Hecate [reject “Hecabe” or “Hecuba”]

[10m] Description acceptable. After dying of a snakebite, Eurydice was almost rescued from the underworld by her husband Orpheus, but it ultimately failed when Orpheus performed this physical action shortly before they escaped.

ANSWER: looking back at her [accept descriptions of Oprheus looking at Eurydice as they’re escaping such as turning towards her or seeing her; accept Orpheus turning around or turning back]
