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.

4)Connect:
I. It is said that E was so old when he took a nap in a chair in the teachers’ lounge/staff room that he died in his sleep and simply got up to go to teach his next class and 'left his body behind'.

II.


5) F can refer to:
An algorithm for performing encryption
An English name for the number 0.
An evil Pokémon syndicate, F
Fis the name of a Marvel Comics character in the newuniversal imprint.
The main character in Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War
A word used to refer to zero, the letter "O" or any circle in the doctrine of The Nation of Gods and Earths (also known as The Five Percent nation).
A "freestyle session" in which hip-hop artists perform scripted or improvised rhyming acts.
The hardcore punk band F
