After Odysseus's long journey home, he comes home to more than 100 suitors just like Athena said. He disguises himself as a beggar so no one will recognize him.
Meanwhile, Penelope tells the suitors that if they want to marry her they must string Odysseus' bow and shoot it through 12 rings. If they are unsuccessful they will not be able to marry her.
"You found no justification for yourselves-none except your lust to marry me. We now declare a contest for a prize. Here is my lord Odysseus' hunting bow. Bend and string it if you can. Who sends an arrow through iron axe-helve sockets, twelve in a line? I join my life with./"
Odysseus' follows Cowherd and Swineherd outside. He asks them about how they feel about Odysseus' and they tell him they hope he will return home. Odysseus then reveals to the men that it is him, and they are appalled.
"I am at home, for I am he...I am ashore in my own land. I find people, longed for my coming. Prayers I have never heard except your own that I might come again."
