Answer 1

C, she was angry about his made up story. 

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.) "She is amused".

Explanation:

In the book "The Odyssey" by Homer, Athena shows a clearly affection towards Odysseus, recognizing herself by the sagacious way that the hero has to solve his problems. Therefore when Athena realizes that Odysseus told her a made-up story when he meets her on Ithaca, she did not reacted by getting angry, on the contrary, she was amused. Athena told Odysseus that she will not abandon him because he is so firm on purpose, taking risks and doing what is necessary to achieve them.
