Helios and Boreas Why do Helios and Boreas agree to have the contest? Both gods are feeling bored that day. One autumn day, Helios, the Greek god of the sun, was halfway through his daily journey, transporting the life-giving sun across the heavens in his golden chariot Suddenly Boreas, god of the frigid North Wind, blasted a stream of frosty wind across the sun god's path. Both gods enjoy playing tricks on humans. Each wants to prove that he is the mightiest of weather gods. "Take heed, Helios!" boomed Boreas. "I will soon bring icy winter, when your warming rays must give way to my chilling gusts, for 1, Boreas, am truly the mightiest of weather gods! Each wants to show that he is stronger than the traveler. 1 2 3 4 5​

hi there

the contrast between a clear and understood meaning is that the clear meaning of a poem is that the detail is exactly defined. nothing is left to (understanding/ explanation). an understood meaning is a suggested meaning. kabir's poetry is both clear and understood in that it can be understood/explained on different levels. the clear meaning leaves nothing to (understanding/ explanation) while the understood meaning leaves lots open to (understanding/ explanation). an example of this is found in the poem "rumi and the (related to religion or the soul) lover".
