1) Why does Erysichthon cut down the tree?
Erysichthon after alot of time demanding to cut the tree was basically because they needed the wood. He also says "It's only a tree that the gooddes like." And he cuts it down
2) Define piety.
Piety according to the dictionary is: reverence for God or devout fulfillment of religious obligations: a prayer full of piety.
3) How does this term relate to Erysichthon?
This term realtes because Etysichthon always wants more and he insults everyone like "Get off me, you, pious son of a bitch!" Also when he sells his mom.
4) What connections can be made between this scene and this children's story?
I think that the "children shorty" is something we still se today alot. If something that is not realistic is said by a small kid its really common that adults do not believe the kids. This happen when the girl said that poseidon had taken away the mother.
5) Relate the events in this scene to a specific passage in Siddhartha.
