I don't quite take it that he was "lying" - perhaps exaggerating as a means of expression his own sense of desolation. Or it could have been that he actually did think that he alone was left of the prophets.
No. In I Kings 18 Obadiah tells Elijah that he has hid hundreds of prophets in verse 13. Then in verse 22 he claims to be the only prophet left.
