Answer:

Antinous

Step-by-step explanation:

In this excerpt, Antinous is complaining to Telemachus about Penelope's behaviour. He tells Telemachus that the suitors are very angry at the way Penelope has treated them. He claims that Penelope has promised that she will marry one of the suitors. However, she asked them to wait until she had finished weaving a shroud. They all waited, but Penelope cunningly would weave in the morning, and unravel it at night.
