Is it really Odysseus?

Penelope is completely shocked that her long lost  husband is back, really and truly back. She is unable to speak or move because of how utterly amazed that her loving Odysseus is back home in Ithaca after all these years. Telemachus begins to shout at his mother. ' Father has traveled all this way back home and you don't even say a single word to him!'  Telemachus is furious at Penelope for being this way to his father. Penelope wants proof that his is actually her husband. She then tells a maid to move her bed out into the hall way so that Odysseus may have a place to sleep for the night. Now, when the bed had been constructed, one of the posts was a live tree that went through the floor and roof, making Penelope's bed impossible of movement. When Odysseus said that the bed was incapable of movement Penelope knew that this was her dearly beloved husband she had missed so. and just as Odysseus and Telemachus had re-united, Odysseus and Penelope shared a tearful and emotion reunion. The End!

I must kill them!

Antinous unties the losing suitors against the winning Odysseus. Odysseus knows that in order to marry Penelope, return to living the palace and keeping his kingdom, he must, kill all the suitors. Every single one of them. Philoetius, the cow herd, and Eumaeus, the swine herd, inform Odysseus that even though he has been gone for many many years, they still like him much more than the evil suitors, and agree to help him battle the suitors.  Together, Telemachus, Odysseus, Eumaeus and Philoetius must kill all the suitors. And there are more than four of them.  First Odysseus knows the men won't be as brave with out their leader. Antinous shall be the first to die. Antinous doesn't believe Odysseus is capable of killing him. Antinous grabs a glass and begins to drink, as he drinks his head tilts back. Then Odysseus grabs his bow and shoots Antinous, right in the throat! Now that he is dead, Telemachus, Eumaeus, Philoetius and Odysseus make quick work of offing the other suitors.  Previously, in private, Odysseus had told his son, the swine and cow herds to make sure all the women were in their rooms, and now matter what they hear, not to come out and to remove all of the other men's weapons from the room. Leaving only Odysseus with any weapons.  The bodies and warm blood hit the cool marble floors, causing steam to rise. And with that Athena turns Odysseus back to himself.  But what will Penelope think?

Trapped!

When we meet the strong and brave Odysseus he is trapped on Calypso's island.  Calypso is holding him there and Odysseus is anxious to escape.  During his long days, Odysseus stares off to the sea, crying desperately, wishing Calypso would allow him to return to his beloved wife, Penelope and home, Ithaca.  Zeus, the kind 'man' he is, sends the messenger Hermes to relay his message to Calypso. She must release Odysseus. Odysseus works diligently to build a raft to begin his journey home, but Poseidon, the sea god, for some odd reason dislikes Odysseus.  He creates a terrifying storm, wrecking Odysseus' carefully built raft on another island's shore, where Odysseus falls into a deep sleep.
