Understanding Relative Pronouns in Mythology

In the tales of ancient Greece, many heroes had companions who were as brave as they. These companions, who often displayed loyalty and courage, played vital roles in the hero's journey. For example, Hercules, who was known for his strength, was aided by a loyal sidekick who supported him through numerous trials. The gods, which watched over mortals, often intervened in their affairs, guiding or challenging them depending on their motives. One such story recounts the myth of Orpheus, who ventured into the Underworld, which was a realm filled with shadows and secrets, seeking to bring back his loved one. The hero's courage, which was boundless, exemplifies the virtues celebrated in mythology.
