Telemachus goes and gets more weapons, but so does Melanthius for the suitors, but he gets tied up in the store room. Athena appears, and she makes the suitors shots with the spears miss. Phemilius and Medon, who were innocent, were spared by Telemachus. The 12 bad maids were forced to clean the place afer the fighting, and then hung. Melanthus, the bad servant was also killed. But the good maids welcomed him home.
- Eurycleia goes to get Penelope to tell her the good news of her husbands return, at first she doesn't believe her. Penelope wonders if Odysseus = Beggar. Odysseus makes the minstrel play music so passers-by will think a wedding is taking place, to stop the news spreading. Penelope tests Odysseus to make sure that he is indeed Odysseus, she tests him on their bed, and means that Odysseus is indeed Odysseus. Penelope and Odysseus talk for hours, and Odysseus tells her about the prophesy and the quest he has to go on. Odysseus get Telemachus, the swineherd, and cowherd, and heads to town, as Athena hides them in the dark
- Nostos = homecoming
- Murray-Penelope is equally heroic to Odysseus due to her experience with the suitors. Ahuvia Kahane-Odysseus's actions are motivated by his nostos and the reassertion of his identity in Ithaca. Silk-Silk claims that Odysseus appears as the anti-hero and it is a tale of revenge where as for a Homeric audience where the love between husband and wife was crucial, it is a tale of justice. Lillian Doherty-Penelope and Athena are the two figures who emulate the characters of Odysseus. C.R Trahman-The skill of Odysseus shows in his lies only supports his most heroric trait, his wits and intelligence. Duffy-Fate is the tool of Zeus, not its own free entity. The will of Zeus and fate are the same.
