He waited beside her until the great snake came for its
prey; then he cut its head off just as he had the
Gorgon's. The headless body dropped back into the

Answer :

In the excerpt from Perseus, the aspect of ancient Greek life exemplified is:

- The expectation of men to perform brave deeds.

In ancient Greek culture, there was a strong emphasis on valor, heroism, and performing brave deeds. Perseus exemplifies this expectation by defeating both the Gorgon and the great snake, showcasing his courage and heroism. Additionally, seeking approval for marriage was important in Greek society, but the primary focus of this excerpt lies on Perseus' brave actions rather than the marriage aspect.
