Read the following passage and answer the question.

At these words
a black cloud of grief came shrouding over [him].
Both hands clawing the earth for dirt and grime,
he poured it over his grizzled head, sobbing in spasms.
Odysseus' heart shuddered . . .

Why is this character upset?

Eumaeus is upset because the suitors have all been killed.
Dolius is upset because Odysseus killed his children.
Laertes is upset because Odysseus has just lied to him about his identity.
Telemachus is upset because Odysseus forced him to kill all the maids.

Respuesta :

it would be C. only because as you said he was in grief when odysseus told laertes his true identity bringing grief upon knowing he has been with him for so long not knowing who he really was

Hello!

I believe the correct answer is C) Laertes is upset because Odysseus has just lied to him about his identity.

I hope it helps!
