Mega Connect

Connect the individual connects to one mega-connect.

1)Tell the Connect b/w pic and A :

O slender as a willow-wand!

O clearer than clear water!

O reed by the living pool!

Fair river-daughter!

O spring-time and summer-time, and spring again after!

O wind on the waterfall, and the leaves' laughter!
Old A is a merry fellow;

Bright blue his jacket is, and his boots are yellow.

2) TELL C

The gods Hermes, Ares, Apollo, and Hephaestus, had all wooed C, but Demeter rejected all their gifts and hid her daughter away from the company of the Olympian deities. Thus, C lived a peaceful life before she became the goddess of the underworld, which, according to Olympian mythographers, did not occur until Hades abducted her and brought her into the underworld. She was innocently picking flowers with some nymphs—, Athena, and Artemis, the Homeric hymn says—, or Leucippe, or Oceanids— in a field in Enna when Hades came to abduct her, bursting through a cleft in the earth; the nymphs were changed by Demeter into the Sirens for not having interfered. Life came to a standstill as the devastated Demeter, goddess of the Earth, searched everywhere for her lost daughter. Helios, the sun, who sees everything, eventually told Demeter what had happened.
Finally, Zeus, pressured by the cries of the hungry people and by the other deities who also heard their anguish, could not put up with the dying earth and forced Hades to return C. But before she was released to Hermes, who had been sent to retrieve her, Hades tricked her into eating pomegranate seeds, (seven, eight, or perhaps four according to the telling) which forced her to return to the underworld for a season each year.

3)Short and easy:

The term D is derived from the original name of the goddess D (also known as Dakshayani), who immolated herself because she was unable to bear her father Daksha's humiliation of her (living) husband Shiva.

2)

____________is a former Australian cricketer who played in 7 Tests and 25 ODIs from 1993 to 1999.

Standing at 6' 5", he was a dangerous left-arm fast-medium bowler and a tremendously hard-hitting right-handed late-middle order batsman, he was regarded as a prospect to become an all-rounder. When on form, his bowling was particularly lethal, with the awkward angle of delivery being a left-armer, the natural swing, and the lift he generated from his great height. However, his bowling average was mediocre, comparable to part-time bowlers such as Mark Waugh and Steve Waugh. In batting, he was a destructive striker of the ball when on song.He had two short spells in the Australian Test team. His first stint was in the 1993 Ashes tour against England when he scored a gritty 56*, and secondly his tight and penetrative bowling spells in the history making West Indies tour of 1995 when in the absence of injured Craig McDermott and Damien Fleming, he and Paul Reiffel undertook new ball responsibilities.
He was a regular member of the One-day team during 1998 and 1999, being a member of the winning squad at the 1999 Cricket World Cup, despite being confined to the bench for the majority of the tournament. He was dropped after the tournament.
