What is athena trying to accomplish by saying the following?

"father zeus—you other happy gods who never die—
never let any sceptered king be kind and gentle now,
not with all his heart, or set his mind on justice—
no, let him be cruel and always practice outrage." (5, 8-11) *
a) she wants to punish mankind forever with tyrant kings.
b) she is manipulating zeus with irony. if a "just" king, like odysseus, is punished by the gods, why would any king be just?
c) she is implicating zeus's unjust behavior. as king of the gods, he is setting a bad example for mortal kings by ruling poorly.
d) she is defending odysseus's questionable reign as king of ithaca by pointing out that lots of kings are tyrants.

In what ways does telemachus doubt odysseus's plan to have athena and zeus them in their fight against the suitors? he thought they would both be flying off like eagles, just as athena had done before. he knows the gods have more important things to do than to them with the suitors. he doubts that they are anywhere near enough to really when the time comes. he thinks that they don’t really care what happens to mortals. he suspects that athena and zeus are at odds with one another and can’t agree on them.
