The word volcano is thought to have come from Roman mythology, specifically derived from Vulcan, the Roman god of fire who was thought to be Jupiter’s blacksmith and responsible for making arrows and shields. Vulcan also had a Greek equivalent, known as Hephaestus, whose name means “burning” or “flaming.” Volcanoes were featured in ancient poetry, where they are described as the blacksmith’s workshop. When a mountain erupted, the ancients thought it was caused by smoke escaping through the chimney of Vulcan’s workshop when he was at work.
Question: The article says that ancient poetry links which TWO of the following to volcanic eruptions?
The god Vulcan’s anger with the people
The god Vulcan’s search for blacksmith tools
The god Vulcan’s work for Jupiter
The god Vulcan’s display of his creations
The god Vulcan’s work on weapons

Respuesta :

I would say the god Vulcan's anger with people and the god Vulcan's display of his creations.

Answer:

The god Vulcan’s work for Jupiter

The god Vulcan’s work on weapons

Explanation:

These are the two links that the author makes between ancient poetry and volcanic eruptions. The author tells us that: "...Vulcan, the Roman god of fire... was thought to be Jupiter’s blacksmith and responsible for making arrows and shields." He also tells us that people believed volcanoes and eruptions to be due to Vulcan's work and workshop. Therefore, volcanic eruptions were considered linked to the work of Vulcan for Jupiter as well as his work on weapons (arrows and shields).
