Question 14 • 25-26 TX-Literary Genres

Which excerpt from Theseus best shows that Theseus has the characteristics of a Greek hero?

Answer
A
He was raised in his mother's land, but once she told him who his father was, he decided to go to Athens to claim his birthright.
B
Theseus believed he could achieve greatness by defeating these brigands, who tormented travelers, and indeed carried this out.
C
Theseus arrived in Crete, whereupon King Minos's daughter, Ariadne, fell in love with him at first sight.
D
Unfortunately, on the voyage home, events took place that caused Theseus to forget to put up white sails.

Explanation

Greek heroes are often shown through courage and extraordinary deeds that protect others. Choice B says Theseus defeated the brigands who tormented travelers, showing both his bravery and his success in confronting danger. The other excerpts describe his birthright, Ariadne’s love, or a mistake on the voyage home rather than a heroic deed.
