"The Test of the Great Bow"
             Our journey begins with Penelope. Since Odysseus has been asking for her hand in marriage. Penelope, still being in love with Odysseus, decided to set out a test for all the men who wanted to marry her. The test involves stringing Odysseus' huge bow, an impossible feat for anyone but Odysseus himself. Penelope got the bow down, but nobody could bend it enough to even string it. Odysseus shows up at the house in disguise. He dressed up as an old beggar. Odysseus saw a swineherd and cowherd, and asked, as the beggar, them would they stand by Odysseus if he came back or would they try to kill him. Both men replied they longed for Odysseus' return. Now knowing that the two men would stand by his side, he revealed to them that he was Odysseus. Odysseus showed them a scar to prove it was he. The men recognized him and hugged and kissed him. If Odysseus was able to defeat the suitors with the help of the cowherd and swineherd, he promised them marriage and cattle. They all entered the room at intervals and he tells Eumaeus to grab the bow and give it to Odysseus and lock all the men inside and the women stay outside. And no matter what happened, the women must keep the door locked and shut. Odysseus already knew that the men were not going to want to give him a chance to shoot the bow. And just as he had predicted, the suitors didn't want him to shoot the bow. But Eumaeus grabs the bow and gives it to Odysseus, then locked all the men inside. Odysseus strung the bow and shot the target. Then Odysseus and Telemacus (Odysseus' son) They got prepared to fight!
