Explanation:
Absolutism is the political regime that is characterized by the meeting of all powers in a single person. These political regimens are more commonly seen in monarchies and as such the French monarchy was no different.
Louis XIV was the best example of an absolute ruler, his infamous quote "I am the state" was statement that came from the steps it took to make it possible for him to rule unquestioned.
These included:
- Subjugating the noble class
- Creation of a bureaucratic state
- Collecting taxes for the crown
- A loyal and large army
- Religious uniformity (Henry IV converted to catholicism in order to rule the largely catholic predominant country)
All these steps and policies along with help from Richelieu (eliminating domestic factions and restraining the power of the nobility), Mazarin (advocating the divine right of kings) and Colbert (raising taxes and tariffs to aid the State treasury of France) made it possible for the consolidation of the French monarchy in the 17th century.
Answer:
Athena is not using Telemachus simply for her own ends.
Explanation:
Athena inspires Telemachus to embark on a journey that is the story of the first five books of the Odyssey. In the form of Mentes, a comrade Odysseus, Athena inspires Telemachus, giving him hope that his father is still alive and that the only way to find out the truth about his return is to go search for him personally. Again, in book two, Athena keeps the story going by making sure Telemachus continues on his journey to find his father. After giving a speech to the assembled people of Ithaca on how the suitors are ravaging his father’s wealth, Telemachus loses confidence in his ability to carry out Athena’s plan. However, Athena reassures him with her supportive words. Bolstered by Athena’s words Telemachus continues to prepare for his journey with newfound vigor.
