Question

Answer the following about Janani K. Jha’s (“JUH-nuh-nee K jah’s”) debut album The Rest of the Laurels. For 10 points each:

[10h] In a song about how women end up as collateral in war, Jha tells Polyxena (“poly-ZEE-nuh”), the daughter of this woman, to “shield your eyes from the sun.” After avenging the death of her son Polydorus, this Trojan woman was turned into a dog.

ANSWER: Hecuba [or Hecabe]

[10m] In the song “Achilles Heel,” Jha compares her love to “[this figure] falling for a daffodil.” Because he was in love with his own image, Narcissus rejected the advances of this nymph.

ANSWER: Echo

[10e] In the album opener “Hellbent,” a song about taking a leap of faith, Jha sings “watch me fall from grace,” comparing herself to this son of Daedalus who flew too close to the sun.

ANSWER: Icarus
