6. Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the author's claim that the ancient Greek idea of Zeus was an evolution away from polytheism?

Correct answer (highlight): D. Sophocles envisioned the persona of Zeus as a single body which enclosed a variety of personalities similar in their behaviors to the former Olympian gods.


Do you remember what your reasoning was if you got this right?

Author's saying Zeus is created as a result of "evolution away from polytheism" meaning Zeus is created to represent monotheism. So I chose D because Zeus having personas of many Olympic gods shows the concept of polytheism, so author's statement is undermined.
