Rachel is making predictions about The Odyssey as she reads this excerpt.


So she described it, sitting in her chamber

among her maids—while her true lord was eating.

Then she called in the forester and said:


“Go to that man on my behalf, Eumaeus,

and send him here, so I can greet and question him.

Abroad in the great world, he may have heard

rumors about Odysseus—may have known him!”

The detail that best supports the prediction that Penelope will discover the stranger's true identity is "he may have heard/rumors about Odysseus".

This excerpt has been taken from Odyssey, a poem by Homer. In Odyssey, Odysseus disguises himself as a beggar in order to surprise the suitors with Athena's help. He reveals his identity to his son Telemachus and asks him to help to kill the suitors; however, when Penelope finds out that the beggar is his husband Odysseus, she pretends that does not know this in order to protect him.
