Question

Illiad and Odyssy help please

Answer 1

Answer: The right answer is the B) Since she promised to remarry when the shroud is complete, this is her way of delaying her second marriage.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little more on the answer, it can be added that when her husband, Odysseus, the king of Ithaca, left in order to fight at the Trojan War, dozens of men proposed to her. She, however, was very loyal to her husband, so, in order to dissuade them, and buy time (and since Odysseus was absent for twenty years), she conceived various tricks. She once decided to weave a burial shroud for her father-in-law, Laertes, and told her suitors that, once finished, she would marry one of them. She went ahead and started weaving it, but every night she undid what she had woven during the day. She was able to do this trick for three years, until she was finally caught.
