Answer:

-Her disguise made her appear older than Telemachus.

Explanation:

Homer's "The Odyssey" tells the story of how Odysseus returned back to his kingdom Ithaca after almost two decades of being away. The whole journey way back home also involves numerous encounters with gods, goddesses and even other demi-gods, good and bad, all playing an important role in his development as the person he was when he reached home.

In Book III, Telemachus, Odysseus' son, had went on a journey to try to find his father along with several men and Minerva/ Athena in disguise. When they had reached the place of Nestor at Pylos, they were invited to join in their feast. At this, Thrasymedes gave the wine cup to Athena in disguise as Mentor, telling her that <em>"he is younger than you are, and is much of an age with myself, so I will give you the precedence"</em>.

Thus, Minerva/ Athena was given the wine cup first because of her old age appearance as compared to the others.

One way an author uses direct characterization is by telling the reader about the character through
victus00 [196]

Answer:

Direct characterization is when the narrator tells you about the traits of the character. For example, the small petty miser counted the money five times to be sure that it was all there. In this example, the narrator directly says that the character is small, petty and miserly. It does not need to be inferred using the rest of the sentence. Indirect characterization is when the author shows the character's traits through the character's speech, thoughts, effects on others, actions, and looks

Although he reports that the emotional effects make his heart flutter, he displays very little emotion in the passage, certainly not the joy expected of someone who suddenly becomes wealthy. </span>
