In this scene, Agamemnon asks Amphimedon why he's dead and in the underworld and Amphidon recalls what happened with all the suitors and their fight with odysseus.
"Amphimedon, what disaster brings you down to the dark world? All of you, good picked men, and all in your prime no captain out to recruit the best in any city could have chosen better." (24.114-118.)
"We were courting the wife of odysseus, gone so long... The pair of them schemed our doom, our deathtrap, then lit out for town. (24. 135-169)
Odysseus tests his father and reveals to him that he is Odysseus and that he's home after 20 years.
"At those words a black cloud of grief came shrouding over Laertes... he poured it over his grizzled head, sobbing in spasms." (24.352-355).
"Father-I am your son- myself, the man you're seeking, home after twenty years, on native ground at last." (24. 358-360).
Medon warns the Suitor's families and others to not pursue Odysseus and fight him because he is accompanied by a god (Athena).
"Hear me, men of Ithaca. Not without the hand of the deathless gods did Odysseus do these things! (24. 485-491).
