I am absolutely happy. I have finally reached Ithaca. I have finally returned home after 20 long years of hardships. However, I was disappointed and angry when I saw all of my wife's suitors. Especially when Antinous threw the stool at me. He was so inhospitable, even to a beggar. But my son and I will soon get revenge on all of them. I was worried that my wife would not believe me if I reveal my identity, but I have my chance now that she set a contest for all her suitors: they must be able to string my great bow. How perfect! I easily achieved the task as all the others failed. My family is now reunited. I now know that I, the wonderful Odysseus, can solve any problem, work through any hardship and succeed.
Sincerely,
Odysseus
