Describe telemachus' conduct toward the visitor mentes (athena in disguise). what does he hope to learn from mentes? why is athena with telemachus' action?

In Homer’s Odyssey, Telemachus is the son of Odysseus and Penelope. In Book 1, when Odysseus is meant to come home, the goddess Athena disguises herself as Mentes, king of the Taphians, and goes to Ithaca to pay Telemachus a visit. The suitors have been taking advantage of Odysseus’ absence for years, and Telemachus dreams of getting rid of them.

Athena has taken it upon herself to ensure the safe return of Odysseus, and when she sees the situation Telemachus is in, she advises him to get rid of his mother’s suitors and travel to Pylos and Sparta to find information about his father.  

Telemachus’ attitude towards Mentes is respectful. He offers him food and drink, and listens attentively to his advice. Upon hearing the advice of the stranger, Telemachus feels stronger, and the memory of his father becomes more lively. He feels so convinced by it he then advises Penelope to do the same: to keep the memory of her husband alive and gain strength through it, and to remember that it is the will of the Gods which has put Odysseus in that situation.

He learns news of his father from Mentes, but he also regains a sense of right and wrong and a sense of purpose. He recuperates the strength and courage to face the suitors, protect his mother and look for his father.

Athena is pleased with Telemachus because of this recovery but also because of his treatment of her and his respect and trust in the Gods.

in brief the senate may propose or concur with amendments as on other bills.

explanation:

the topics being handled in article 1, section 7, of the u.s constitution, revolve around two issues: the first, the correct procedure to pass legislation regarding revenue production through tax, and the second, the correct process for creating and passing law. in the first case, the text of the constitution literally states that all bills regarding the raising of money, or revenue, need to first be proposed by the house of representatives, although the senate may also play a role here by either proposing such a bill to the house, or agreeing with one being proposed by the house. the second portion, speaks about the process to create, pass and enact legislation. the bill must first be raised by one of the houses, then it must be voted by the plenaries of both houses, and then, it must be presented to the president of the united states, who will either accept it, or veto it, and send it back for reconsideration. if it is not sent back, then the bill is passed into law. if sent back by the president, then the house where the bill originated from will vote again, and if passed by two thirds of the majority, then it goes to the other house, with the observations from the president, for voting. if it passes there as well, then, the bill becomes law, with a few exceptions. this is what is explained in article i, section 7, of the u.s constitution.
