What news do ross relate?

Ross is a messenger. Every time there is a message to be delivered, Ross is delivering it. He should be portrayed as a courier. We first meet him when he is bringing news to Duncan of the battle in Fife and Cawdor's treachery, then he brings news to Macbeth that he is now Thane of Cawdor, then he brings messages to Lady Macduff, and finally brings news to Macduff that his family has been slaughtered.


What news does the corinthian messenger announce?

That Polybus is dead is the news that the Messenger brings from Oedipus' homeland and that the death is from natural causes is the reason why Jocasta is relived in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus fears his fate as his father's killer. But the Corinthian messenger lets Oedipus' wife Queen Jocasta know that Oedipus' presumed father, King Polybus, is dead from illness and old age. Jocasta welcomes the news since Oedipus is far away in Thebes and therefore cannot be said to bring about his father's death in Corinth.

Is evangeliscm monotheistic or polytheistic?

Technically, it could be either. "Evangel" means "good news" or "a messenger bringing good news" (eu-, good; angel, - messenger). It's the same as "gospel" (go-, good; spell, report). While we normally find it used to refer to the Good News of Christian salvation, it would be proper (grammatically, at least) to use it for relating a wonderful discovery from any kind of religion.
