Penelope tests Odysseus because she knows something that only Odysseus would know.
2) The one last task that Tiresias gives Odysseus is he must visit many cities till I reach a land where men know nothing of the sea and don’t use salt to season what they eat; they ignorant of boats with purple cheeks and shapely oars that are the wings of ships. It is important because the gods can drive the wisest mortal mad and even guide a fool to wisdom.
3) After Odysseus tells Penelope of all his adventures he stops by his fathers. He tells Penelope that don’t go out talk to anyone and don’t ask questions or else they will find out that the suitor are dead

She tests him because she can’t be sure that it is some god in disguise.

2.Tiresias’s prophecy is that Odysseus will visit many cities with an oar in hand until he reaches the land where men know nothing of the sea and don’t use salt to season what they eat and sacrifice a couple bulls to Poseidon. That task is important because Poseidon is mad at him and Odysseus needs to apologize to him.

3.Odysseus goes to meet his father Laertes on a wooded farm. He tells Penelope that the word that suitors were killed would spread throughout the country. He told her to stay in her room and don’t talk to anybody and don’t see anybody.

Penelope tells a servant to make a bed for Odysseus in the halls because she was looking for the sigh; Odysseus thinks somebody had moved his bed which is impossible because it’s a tree trunk and that’s the sigh Penelope was looking for and then he starts yelling about how he made the bed with his own hands. Penelope did that because she truly didn’t believe it was Odysseus.
2. Tiresias last prophecy is that Odysseus has to find a land where men know nothing of sea and they don’t salt everything they eat, who know nothing of boats or the shapely oars. It’s important because he needs the gods to like him and the gods can make the wisest man go crazy and even guide a fool to wisdom
3. He tells Penelope to take her servants and go to the upstairs room and stay there and talk to no one. Odysseus himself has to go visit his father because he grieves for him. He also has to collect what was taken from him.

She tests him by telling her maid to make his bed in the hall and only Odysseus would know that i can`t be done because he was the one who crafted it. She tests him to see if he is truly her dear Odysseus.
2. Tieresias told him that he needed to carry an oar inland and sacrifise to Posiedon. It`s important because he needs to make sure Poseidon isn`t mad at him and he is also saying sorry.
3. Odysseus goes to see his father Laertes. He tells Penelope to lock doors and not to talk or amswer questions to anyone because news are going to spread and they will know that the suitors are dead.

Penbelope tests him by making Euricleia providing a place to sleep by moving a bed in to the hallway. She tests him because she is trying to find out if it is her true Odysseus.
2. He must carry an oar inland and make sacrifices to posiden, he also needs to gather his livestock and goods that were takenby the suitors, and lastly he tells Odysseus to visit his father. Odysseus needs the gods to respect him more, and gods can drive the wisest man mad, or guide a fool to wisdom.
3. He tells Penelope and the maids to go and hide in the closet and do not let anyone in, while he goes and talks to his father.
