Rachel is making predictions about the odyssey as she reads this excerpt.
so she described it, sitting in her chamber
among her maids—while her true lord was eating.
then she called in the forester and said:
“go to that man on my behalf, eumaeus,
and send him here, so i can greet and question him.
abroad in the great world, he may have heard
rumors about odysseus—may have known him! ”
rachel makes the prediction that penelope will discover the stranger’s true identity. which detail best supports her prediction?
he may have heard/ rumors about odysseus
sitting in her chamber/ among her maids
then she called in the forester
abroad in the great world

The detail that best supports the prediction that Penelope will discover the stranger's true identity is "he may have heard/rumors about Odysseus".

This excerpt has been taken from Odyssey, a poem by Homer. In Odyssey, Odysseus disguises himself as a beggar in order to surprise the suitors with Athena's help. He reveals his identity to his son Telemachus and asks him to help to kill the suitors; however, when Penelope finds out that the beggar is his husband Odysseus, she pretends that does not know this in order to protect him.

odysseus shows many acts of bravery in homer's epic poem the odyssey. first, he shows bravery when he tricks polyphemus, the cyclops, and gouges out his eye. this is an act of bravery. it will also cost him because polyphemus was the son of poseidon, the god of the sea.
