Sanai Jimenez · Answer 2

Penelope accuses her of going insane.

Explanation:

Eurycleia is the servant and wet-nurse of Odysseus. When Odysseus returns home, disguised as a beggar, Penelope, his wife does not recognize him. Only his son Telemachus and Eurycleia do. However, Odysseus stops her from saying anything to Penelope. When she eventually does, Penelope does not believe her, and she accuses her of being mad. However, Penelope tests Odysseus, and when he passes the test, she realizes he is in fact her husband.
