Question

which story event from perseus best shows that the ancient greeks sometimes suffered tyrannical rulers?
viewing the gorgon, king polydectes and his men turn to stone
the ethiopians force king cepheus to sacrifice his daughter
perseus makes his old friend dictys king of the island
king acrisius and king polydectes try to kill perseus

Explanation:

Tyrannical rulers use power oppressively. Kings Acrisius and Polydectes trying to kill Perseus out of self - interest and to manipulate situations shows tyrannical behavior as they abuse their power for personal gain at the expense of others. In the other options, there are no clear demonstrations of rulers being tyrannical. For example, turning to stone is a result of a mythical encounter, the Ethiopians forcing a sacrifice is an external threat situation, and making a friend king is not an act of tyranny.

Answer:

D. King Acrisius and King Polydectes try to kill Perseus
