Question

We will now return to Zeus and his brothers, who, having gained a complete victory over their enemies, began to consider how the world, which they had conquered, should be divided between them. At last it was settled by lot that Zeus should reign supreme in Heaven, whilst Aïdes governed the Lower World, and Poseidon had full command over the Sea, but the supremacy of Zeus was recognized in all three kingdoms, in heaven, on earth (in which of course the sea was included), and under the earth. Zeus held his court on the top of Mount Olympus, whose summit was beyond the clouds; the dominions of Aïdes were the gloomy unknown regions below the earth; and Poseidon reigned over the sea. It will be seen that the realm of each of these gods was enveloped in mystery. Olympus was shrouded in mists, Hades was wrapt in gloomy darkness, and the sea was, and indeed still is, a source of wonder and deep interest. Hence we see that what to other nations were merely strange phenomena, served this poetical and imaginative people as a foundation upon which to build the wonderful stories of their mythology.

Answer 1

Based on the author's comparison of the three realms, the conclusion about the Greeks that is most clearly true is:

3. The Greeks believed that their gods could not be completely known or understood.

This conclusion is supported by the descriptions of the realms of Zeus, Aïdes, and Poseidon, each of which is associated with mystery and the unknown. The language used suggests that these realms were enveloped in mystery, indicating that the Greeks recognized a sense of uncertainty and mystery surrounding their gods and their domains.
