Read the following passage: Pirithous aspired to the wife of the monarch of Erebus; and Theseus, though aware of the danger, accompanied the ambitious lover in his descent to the underworld. But Pluto seized and set them on an enchanted rock at his palace gate, where they remained till Hercules arrived and liberated Theseus, leaving Pirithous to his fate. Why could this passage be considered an example of situational irony? Pirithous was trying to steal someone else's wife.

Pluto kidnapped the two friends.

Theseus willingly walked into danger.

Theseus had to be rescued by the one he was trying to emulate.
