It has been 20 years since I've seen my home in Ithaca, and now i am finally back. Unfortunately my glorious homecoming also brought me some bad news, many rich suitors have been trying to steal my wife from me. Luckily Athena decides to help me and she disguised me as a beggar so i could fit in without being noticed. I then told my son of my true identity and after some convincing he realized that it really was me. I also told him of my plans to kill the suitors and asked for his help which he anxiously accepted.
I then entered my house as a beggar asking for food and was surprised at how rude Antinous was,especially when he threw a stool at me, but was able to conceal my anger knowing that i would soon have my revenge. My wife then called my in to ask me some questions about my travels and who i was and it was very hard for me to keep my true identity from her. During the interview i realized how urgent my return to Ithaca was. The next day my wife decided to issue a challenge to the suitors of stringing my great bow and firing it into a target. None of the suitors were able to do so and i asked for a chance. I strung the bow, hit all the targets, and now its time for my revenge...
