In the following passage, a boy named alistair has joined a group of strangers whom he met
while traveling. select the best evidence to support the statement that alistair is not
particularly brave for his age.
if the men had intended to harm him, then they could have done it already. alistair
wasn't as strong or as fearsome as a bull. even for a twelve-year-old boy-which is
what he was, after all-he was considered timid.
at the edge of the forest, the group passed by an enormous blackened tree stump.
it was even thicker than the sequoias alistair had seen during a family trip out
west, and though he wanted to examine it closer, the tall man advised against it.

explanation:

agamemnon was the leader of the greek troops in the trojan wars and orestes was his son. when agamemnon returned from the war, he was murdered by his wife's lover in conjunction with his wife. orestes could not stop them but he seeked vengeance for his father. after a long time, he found them and avenged his father while killing them. he killed his mother, but greek mythology claims that his act was just and he was spared the remorse and the guilt. there are a lot of similarities with the ulysses/telemachus father son pair. ulysses was also one of the leaders of the excursion to troy. he still has not returned home, but in a sense the suitors of penelope are marring his estate and his reputation. while penelope is faithful to ulysses, the suitors by taking hold of the palace and committing their shameful acts are dishonoring ulysses. in the same context, telemachus is asked just like orestes to restitution his father's honor, regardless of whether he is alive or dead. athena is him and encouraging him with this example and he himself feels the need to save his father
