- "Hermes the healer led them on, and down the dank moldering paths and past the Ocean's streams they went and past the white rock and the Sun's Western Gates and past the Land of Dreams, and they soon reached the fields of asphodel where the dead, the burnt-out wraiths of mortals, make their home." (24. 11-15).
- Odysseus comes to his father Laertes who is living on a farm, mourning his son's death, and asks him questions disguised as a friend of Odysseus. But when Laertes begins to cry at the memory of Odysseus, Odysseus throws his arms around Laertes and kisses him. He proves his identity with the scar and with his memories of the fruit trees that Laertes gave him when he was a little boy. He tells Laertes how he has avenged himself upon the suitors.
- "Laertes, catching his breath, found words to answer. "You-you're truly my son, Odysseus, home at last?"(24. 364-365).
