Question

4/5
how does zeus influence the battle in book 11?
by allowing athena to intervene
by directly fighting alongside hector
by sending the goddess strife to manifest wars brutality
by granting achilles divine powers

Explanation:

In Book 11 of the Iliad, Zeus, to test the Greeks, initially forbids other gods from intervening. He then sends the goddess Strife (Eris) down to the battlefield, where she amplifies the ferocity and brutality of the fighting among the warriors, driving the conflict to escalate. The other options are incorrect: Zeus does not allow Athena to intervene here, he does not fight alongside Hector, and he does not grant Achilles divine powers in this context.

Answer:

By sending the goddess Strife to manifest war's brutality
