Question

Explain the suitors' reaction when Antinous throws a stool at the beggar/Odysseus upon his asking for food? Your answer should be at least 75 words.

Answer 1

Beggar/Odysseus was welcomed in the palace. The suitors gave him enough food for him not to starve, they were reluctant. It was then that Antinous insulted Odysseus/Beggar. Odysseus without thinking about it, had a comeback to the insult Antinous had said. By then Antinous was really angry, and ended up throwing a tantrum. He threw a stool at Odysseus/Beggar, and no one agreed with this action that Antinous took. The news of what Antinous did made way to Penelope, who wasn't happy with Antionous's actions toward the beggar. She then questions the Beggar.

Hope this helped! :)

Answer 2

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

The beggar (which is really Odysseus) is made welcome in the palace. The suitors are reluctant, but they give him food, so that he won't starve. Antinous, however, is angry and insults the beggar. Without considering this action, Odysseus retorts, which flares Antinous even more. He is so mad that he throws a tantrum, during which he throws a stool at the beggar. Even the other suitors disagree with this action, as does everybody else at the palace. Penelope gets wind of Antinous' doings and summons the beggar to question him.

I'm always happy to help :)
