Read the messenger's lines as he speaks to eurydice:
"we made our prayers in that place to hecate
and pluto, that they would be merciful. and we bathed
the corpse with holy water . "
which best identifies and interprets the allusion in these lines?
a) the allusion is to hecate and pluto, the gods of forgiveness; the sentry is implying that creon must show regret for his actions in order to be forgiven for his cruelty towards polyneices.
b) these are the gods who sent teiresias the warning about creon's actions; this shows that the sentry believes teiresias is an impostor who lied about the message he received from the gods.
c) the allusion is to hecate and pluto, which are the greek names for the afterlife; this implies that creon and his sentries are no longer welcome there because of how they have treated polyneices, haimon, and antigone.
d) the allusion is to hecate, goddess of witchraft, and pluto, god of the underworld; the sentry is implying that they have tried to make amends by burying the corpse of polyneices in as respectful a manner as possible.

What is implied in this sentence from mark twain's "the £1,000,000 bank-note"? i was puzzled, and wanted to discuss the matter a little further, but they didn't; so i took my leave, feeling hurt and insulted to be made the butt of what was apparently some kind of a practical joke, and yet obliged to put up with it, not being in circumstances to resent affronts from rich and strong folk.
