o father, all my life your fame as a fighting man has echoed in my ears — your skill with weapons and the tricks of war — but what you speak of is a staggering thing, beyond imagining, for me. how can two men do battle with a houseful in their prime?" —the odyssey, homer based on the two passages, how has telemachus changed since he first met up with odysseus? he has become less trusting. he has become more confident. he has become more afraid. he has become less interested.

Answer 1

Telemachus has become less trusting.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the passages, Telemachus has changed since he first met up with Odysseus by becoming less trusting. In the first passage, Telemachus expresses his fear and unease about the situation, indicating a lack of trust. In the second passage, he is terrified and suggests leaving before it's light, again showing a lack of trust. Therefore, the correct answer is 'he has become less trusting.' Based on the passages, Telemachus has changed since he first met up with Odysseus by becoming more confident. Initially, he is uncertain and lacks trust in his own abilities, but as he listens to Odysseus's reputation of skilled fighting and warcraft, he recognizes the possibility and the need to stand up against the suitors in his house. Despite acknowledging the challenge of 'two men do battle with a houseful in their prime,' his willingness to discuss tactics with his father, Odysseus, signifies a growth in confidence and the development of his own abilities to think and act in the face of adversity.
