Question

Visitors would seek to experience one of these events to be healed at the sanctuary of Asclepius in Epidaurus in a process called incubation. In Book 6 of the Odyssey, one of these events prompts Nausicaa to wash her clothes, which causes her to find Odysseus shipwrecked on a beach. While discussing these events in Book 2 of the Odyssey, Penelope says that they exit the Greek Underworld through either a gate of horn (-5[1])or a gate of ivory. (10[1])The Oneiroi (10[1])(“OH-nay-roy” ) are dark-winged personifications of these events. Hesiod (10[1])describes personifications of these events as the offspring of Nyx and the brothers of (-5[1])Hypnos. For 10 points, name this type of nocturnal event governed by the god Morpheus.
