The boy
scowls, and changes into his true form
the goddess Athena. She tells you
that you will need to be more cunning to
defeat your enemies, who have eaten and
drunk in your home for ten years, and who
will soon force your wife to marry one of
them...

|
...but for now, simply look at
your land, at its bays and woods, bathed in light
under a clear blue sky, for you have returned
home to Ithaca
at last.

Well done
Odysseus, conqueror of Troy,
king of Ithaca!
