Suggested answer: King Eurystheus sets impossible tasks for Heracles because he had promised the goddess Hera to deny Heracles his freedom forever if he failed the tasks. The final task he sets for Heracles is to go to the Underworld and steal King Pluto’s guard dog, Cerberus.  \nGrammar Boost: Active and passive voices  \n1 B is written in the passive voice because Cerberus is the subject of the sentence and has the action done to it, that is ‘is presented’.  \n2a The smelly stables were cleaned out by Heracles.  \n2b All of the tasks were completed by Heracles.  \n2c Heracles was ordered to kill Cerberus by King Eurystheus.  \nActivity 2  \n1 Students’ own answers. Suggested answers:  \na King Eurystheus is presented as eager to please the goddess Hera so that she ‘would be delighted’. b The writer presents the goddess Hera as vindictive and demanding. She has made King Eurystheus promise to help her ‘defeat her enemy, Heracles’ by creating ‘impossible tasks’ for Heracles to perform.  \nc The writer presents Heracles as strong and lucky, as he uses ‘courage, cunning and superhuman strength’ to complete the tasks.  \nd The writer presents Cerberus as a horrific creature, ‘terrifying and powerful’.  \nSection 1 Telling stories: Lesson 2  \nActivity 3  \n1a At the start of the story, Heracles is on the banks of the Underworld.  \n1b Heracles has come to this place to take Cerberus to King Eurystheus.  \n2a Possible answers: Who King Eurystheus is; his promise to Hera; why he has set impossible tasks for Heracles; why Heracles wants to complete the tasks  \n2b Students’ own answers. Suggested answer: I think that Extract A would be improved if it revealed Heracles’ thoughts and feelings. For example, when Eurystheus revealed the final task, we could find out how Heracles felt about it (e.g. scared or defiant) . By discovering more about Heracles’ character from this extract, we would sympathise with him and view him as even more of a hero.  \nActivity 4  \n1a A  \n1b B  \n1c Students’ own answers. Suggested answer: The writer of Extract A may have chosen to tell the story as a chronological narrative, starting at the beginning of the story, then sequencing events in the order in which they happened. The writer of Extract B may have chosen to open the story at the dramatic moment when Heracles arrives in the Underworld, in order to create maximum drama and tension, and engage the reader in the story immediately.  \n2 Students’ own answers. Suggested answers:  \na The writer has created a sympathetic impression of Heracles by describing his ‘shaking voice’ and noting that ‘he shivered’ and wondered whether he were ‘the only living thing’ in the gloomy place. b The writer has created a frightening impression of the shadowed figure by describing his ‘dead white eyes’ and ‘mocking laughter’.  \nc The writer has created a scary impression of Cerberus by describing it as ‘howling and monstrous in its rage’.  \n3 Students’ own answers. Suggested answer:  \nIn Extract A, Heracles is presented as a determined character but we do not have access or insight into his thoughts or feelings, so the reader feels less familiar and less sympathetic towards him. Whereas in Extract B, we experience more immediately what Heracles is going through, so the reader feels more excited and thrilled by what he is facing – and we feel more sympathetic towards him.  \n4 Students’ own answers. Suggested answer: The writer of Extract A has used superlatives and comparatives to describe Cerberus. The writer of Extract B has given more detailed description of the setting in which Cerberus is kept and the sounds it makes.  \n5 Students’ own answers.
