The Metamorphoses by Ovid [Medea] says, “O Night, most faithful to these my mysteries, and ye golden Stars, who, with the Moon, succeed the fires of the day, and thou, . . . , too, Earth, that dost furnish the enchanters with powerful herbs; ye breezes, too, and winds, mountains, rivers, and lakes, and all ye Deities of the groves, and all ye Gods of night, attend here; through whose aid, whenever I will, the rivers run back from their astonished banks to their sources, and by my charms I calm the troubled sea, and rouse it when calm; I disperse the clouds, and I bring clouds upon the Earth; I both allay the winds, and I raise them. . . . Now there is need of juices, by means of which, old age, being renewed, may return to the bloom of life, and may receive back again its early years; and this ye will give me.”Use the excerpts from Metamorphoses by Ovid and The Tempest by William Shakespeare to answer the question.

Answer 1

Based on the excerpts provided, both Prospero and Medea have the power to control wind and influence natural elements. Specifically, Medea invokes the powers of night, stars, and various natural elements to perform magic, while Prospero, in "The Tempest," is known for his control over the elements, including the wind and sea.

However, regarding the specific mention of restoring youth, Medea explicitly asks for the "juices" to renew old age and return to the bloom of life, indicating she possesses the power to restore youth.

Therefore, the correct response based on the passages is: They can restore youth.
