The three of us like to take some credit for the success of Odysseus, even though it was mainly his doing... First off we helped him with his costume so that he could be disguised when he went to the Great Hall for the competition. We stood far off so that we were not seen before Odysseus had won the competition and begun the massacre of suitors. At that cue we ran into the Hall and helped him kill all of the men who were vying for his wife. When we arrived he had already killed Antious the leader of the suitors. The four of us killed all 100 suitors, although we have to give Odysseus credit for killing most of them!!
Later that night Penelope gave Odysseus the final test to prove that he was her husband. She spoke as if their bed had been moved and Odysseus's reaction proved his "authenticity". He rejected saying that the bed could not be moved because it had been built into a living tree. Odysseus was the only one who knew this secret of the bed because he was the one who built it. His knowledge proved that he was indeed Odysseus, King of Ithaca, Wife of Penelope.
We are so happy to be home we really can't find words for it, what a JOURNEY!!!
Yay!! Home home home at long long long last!!!!!
For now...
Tadd, Zander, and Lysander
