Packet H: Bonus 13

In the Aeneid, Virgil describes how true shadows and the Manes exit separate gates that are each composed of one of these two materials. For 10 points each:
[10h] The Greek translations of what two materials resemble the words for “fulfill” and “deceive,” thereby punning on the notion of “false dreams” and “prophetic dreams” that exit their respective underworld gates?
ANSWER: horn AND ivory (Prophetic dreams pass through the gate of horn, whereas false dreams pass through the ones made of ivory.)
[10e] This woman admits to her disguised husband that a dream about an eagle slaughtering geese is likely a false dream sent through the ivory gate. This mother of Telemachus later asks her husband to uproot their marriage bed.
ANSWER: Penelope
[10m] The ivory gate also sends a false promise of a willing bride to Morrheus, a general from this region, as he wages war against Dionysus in a work by Nonnus. Herodotus relates that this region was home to gold-digging ants.
ANSWER: India [or Indikē or Indoi or Indou]
