The Odyssey BK 24 - PEACE

Penelope invites the old beggar for a late night check: does he know anything about Odysseus? She tells him she's decided to pick a suitor (who can complete a heroic task with a box!). Eurycleia recognizes the old man as Odysseus! Melantho the shameless maiden insults the beggar.

Penelope sadly & beautifully extracts the bow from the mancave that will decide her fate, announced the 12-axe contest, and watches while suitors fumble with the task and decide whether they are going to let the old man try.

The final closing events to ultimately end the journeying and cycle of violence -- including another trip to Hades and lots of interventions from Athena.

Has Odysseus truly proven himself? Watch Penelope win the game of deception with a test of her own. And finally an ultimate homecoming (that lasts a supernatural amount of time).

With his weapon in hand and a successful arrow to win Penelope, Odyss turns his sights on suitor revenge, one-by-one. Watch all your favorite suitors get picked off. Maidens also must pay the price.

Odysseus, still disguised, tests Eumaeus and a new cowherd (Philoetius) to see if they would fight the suitors. He reveals himself to them! More suitor abuse happens, and Penelope is listening outside the door...

Odysseus in disguise faces more fights against Irus and Melantho --with clever word plays -- in his living room overrun by suitors.

Final Chapter: Watch Scout reflect, connect to the Gray Ghost, and offer a final goodbye. So good!

Unravelling the attack, calling on Atticus, Heck, and Scout to discover and make final decisions about what to do.

Attack -- and rescues.
