The gods are often mentioned to establish references that will be easily identified by readers, as shown in option C.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • The "Ramayana" is an epic with great influence from Hinduism.
  • That's because its author was a practitioner of that religion and wrote the epic based on his religious concepts.
  • He did this also because he knew that the target audience of this epic was also Hindu people and that's why they would identify with the story.

To make the story even more understandable and allow the audience to identify themselves, he added to the story many references to Greek gods, which repeat themselves over and over again. He did this because he knew the public would understand.
