Question 1. Read the following passage and summarise it in your own words
In Greek mythology, Philomela was the daughter of Pandion, a legendary king of Athens
Her sister Procne married Tereus, king of Thrace, and went to live with him in Thrace. After
five years, Procne wanted to see her sister. Tereus agreed to go to Athens and bring
Philomela back for a visit. However, Tereus found Philomela so beautiful that he raped her.
Then he cut out her tongue so she could not tell what had happened and hid her. He told
Procne that her sister was dead.
Unable to speak, Philomela wove a tapestry depicting
the story and arranged for an old
woman to take it to Procne. When Procne saw the weaving, she asked the woman to lead
her to Philomela. After rescuing her sister. Proche planned revenge
on her husband. She
killed their son Iłys and served him to Tereus for supper. At the end of the meal: Philomela
appeared and threw the boy's head on the table. Realizing what had happened, Tereus
chased the women and tried to kill them. But before he could catch them, the gods
transformed them all into birds. Tereus became a hawk (or a hoopoe), while Procne became
a nightingale and Philomela a swallow. Roman writers reversed these roles, making
Philomela a nightingale and Procne a swallow. The myth appears in Ovid's Metamorphoses:
