Read the passage from "by the waters of babylon.” that is all of my story, for then i knew he was a man—i knew then that they had been men, neither gods nor demons. it is a great knowledge, hard to tell and believe. they were men—they went a dark road, but they were men. i had no fear after that—i had no fear going home, though twice i fought off the dogs and once i was hunted for two days by the forest people. when i saw my father again, i prayed and was purified. he touched my lips and my breast, he said, "you went away a boy. you come back a man and a priest." i said, "father, they were men! i have been in the place of the gods and seen it! now slay me, if it is the law—but still i know they were men." how does the dialogue support the theme of the passage? the dialogue supports the theme that wisdom comes from obeying one’s parents, because it shows how the narrator has followed the same path as his father. the dialogue supports the theme that only the fittest survive, because it details how the narrator avoids being killed by the forest people. the dialogue supports the theme that knowledge is gained by taking risks, because it illustrates that the narrator makes a discovery by breaking the rules. the dialogue supports the theme that learning the truth is not always easy, because it highlights that the narrator is upset by the idea that the gods were men.
