Question

In Herodotus’ account of one of these events, the queen-to-be Mandane grew a vine from her womb. During one of these events, a daughter of Triton demanding a home with the Nereids breastfed Euphemus as a (-5[1])clod of dirt. An animal-form god of these events named (-5[1])Phobetor (10[2])is thought to have been invented by Ovid. After (10[1])one of these events prompted her to wash her clothes, Nausicaa discovered Odysseus shipwrecked. While evaluating the truth of these events, Penelope described “gates of horn and ivory” (10[1])in a literary (10[2])image first appearing in the Odyssey. In Book 2 of the Iliad, Zeus sent an Oneiroi during one of these events to convince Agamemnon to attack the Trojans the next day. For 10 points, Morpheus presides over what (10[1])events which (10[1])Greek gods used to convey (10[1])information to sleeping mortals? ■END■
