Hi There Brain!

In the Odyssey, why doesn't Odysseus immediately reveal his true identity to Penelope?

A.
He does not know if he wants to live with Penelope again.

B.
Pallas Athena has forbidden him from telling Penelope who he is.

C.
He must first get rid of the suitors trying to court Penelope.

D.
Penelope has remarried and forgotten him.

He must first get rid of the suitors trying to court Penelope. 

The answer is C. He must first rid the suitors trying to court Penelope.

Odysseus is still in love with Penelope, and he wants to make sure she still loves him back by not falling for the suitors that are trying to win her over.

He also needs to get rid of the suitors so that he can be free of his disguise and love Penelope once again.

(also suitors are just plain meanies so why not get rid of them)
