Answer 2

Answer:

Option (a)

Explanation:

There is no strict timeline in The Odyssey. Beginning in the middle of the story, the reader only becomes aware of earlier happenings through Odysseus' retelling. Ithaca's setting is established in the first four volumes. In sorrow at Odysseus' return from the siege of Troy, Penelope, Odysseus' wife, and their little boy, Telemachus, are helpless in the face of her haughty suitors. Telemachus is looking for information regarding his father, who hasn't been heard from since leaving for war almost 20 years prior. In the Peloponnese, he travels covertly in search of Nestor and Menelaus, two warriors who fought alongside Odysseus at Troy, and learns that his father is still alive.
