wood, fruit, and oil. The court declared Athena’s olive tree more beneficial than Poseidon’s ocean water, and that Athens still belonged to Athena. Later, the olive breach became a symbol of peace (Daly 107). Poseidon created the horse and its bridle; the bridle controls the horse. He probably started horse racing also.

Exercise 2: Crux Buster, Harrison’s “On Not Being Milton” In Tony Harrison’s poem “On Not Being Milton” he writes, “my Cahier d’un retour au pays natal” (3). According to the footnote, the French phrase comes from the title of Aime Cesaire’s poem about colonized West Indian people and a journey back to their homeland.

Agamemnon is willing to commit filicide. This strikes me as absurd given the rather trivial cause for such an epic war that merely “avenged a woman’s loss” (Agamemnon, line 225). Aeschylus creates such a melancholy image of Iphigenia’s death “the bridle chokes her voice...her saffron robes pouring over the sand her glance like arrows showering wounding every murderer through with pity” (Agamemnon, lines 237-241). He uses her violated innocence to emphasize the complete immorality of Agamemnon’s…
