Section 5
They came to Seriphus. No one knew Perseus; he heard his name spoken of as that of
a youth who had gone on a foolish quest and who would never again be heard of. He
learned that Polydectes had a new plan to marry—and this time, he would marry Danae.
He had walled her up in a temple.
Perseus took Andromeda to the hut of Dictys, the shepherd, so she would be safe. Then
Perseus went to the temple and heard his mother's voice wailing: "Walled up here and
given over to hunger, I shall be made go to Polydectes's house and become his wife. O
ye gods, have ye no pity for Danae, the mother of Perseus?"
Perseus cried aloud, and his mother heard his voice and her moans ceased. He turned
around and he went to the palace of Polydectes, the king.
The king received him with mockeries. "I will let you stay in Seriphus for a day," he said,
"because I would have you attend a marriage feast. I have vowed that Danae, your
mother, will be my wife by to-morrow's sunset."
So Polydectes said, and the lords and princes who were around him mocked Perseus
and flattered the king. Perseus went from them then. The next day he came back to the
palace. But in his hands now there was a dreadful thing—the bag made from the hide of
the sea monster that had in it the Gorgon's head.
He saw his mother. She was brought in white and fainting, thinking that she would now
have to wed the harsh and overbearing king. Then she saw her son, and hope came into
her face.
The king seeing Perseus, said: "Step forward, O youngling, and see your mother wed to
a mighty man. Step forward to witness a marriage, and then depart, for it is not right that
a youth that makes promises and does not keep them should stay in a land that I rule
over. Step forward now, you with the empty hands."
But not with empty hands did Perseus step forward. He shouted out: "I have brought
something to you at last, O king—a present to you and your mocking friends. But you, O
my mother, hide your face from what I have brought." Saying this Perseus drew out the
Gorgon's head. Holding it by the snaky locks he stood before the company. His mother
turned away her face. But Polydectes and his insolent friends looked full upon what
Perseus showed. "This youth would try to frighten us with some magician’s trick!" they

said. They said no more, for they became as stones, and as stone images they still
stand in that hall in Seriphus.
Perseus went to Dictys the shepherd's hut, and he asked the kind shepherd to rule as
king in his brother’s place. Then with his wife, Andromeda, and his mother, Danae, he
went from Seriphus.
He did not go to Argos, the country that his grandfather had ruled over, although the
people there wanted Perseus to come and be their king. He took the kingdom of Tiryns
in exchange for that of Argos, and there he ruled with Andromeda by his side.
He gave the sickle-sword that had slain the Gorgon, and Medusa's head, back to
Hermes. That head Hermes's divine sister, Athena, goddess of wisdom, set upon her
shield. O, may Athena guard us all!

How does the author organize ideas in the passage? (The passage is California Mystery Spot) the passage starts
The passage
1. Tourists visiting the state of California might be interested in making time to see its magnificent natural wonders. They might enjoy traveling through forests of towering, ancient redwoods venturing on hikes deep in the shadowy woods, or trekking along the edges of snow-capped mountains. However, if travelers are the kind of people who like to let their imaginations run wild, they might want to visit an area that defies the laws of gravity.

2. It may sound fantastical, but just outside of Santa Cruz, California, not far from the Pacific Ocean, is an area called the Mystery Spot. This mystifying place is nestled in a canyon on the side of a hill. The spot, which is no larger than 150 feet in diameter, seems to defy all natural laws.

Discovery of the Mystery Spot

3. The amazing qualities of this location were first reported by the people who own and operate the Mystery Spot. The owners say that the mysterious properties of this location were first discovered in 1939, when the land was benign surveyed for purchase. While the surveyor was doing his job, his compass began to fluctuate wildly. This fluctuation was completely abnormal, and the surveyor could not obtain an accurate reading. Although he and his workers were confused, they blamed the variance on underground minerals or the possibility of barbed wire being buried nearby.

Read the excerpt from "Healthy Eating."

It may be an old adage, but it's a goody: you are what you eat. It's also when you eat and how much you eat. And while we can all sympathize with the need to have things fast and easy in our busy lives, nutritionists say eating well is actually not that hard. It just takes planning and, some would say, a little help from the village.
