Odysseus tells Penelope that he's from Crete
She asks him if at any time her husband he did meet?
He claims to have seen him on the way to Ilion
Convinces her by telling of the clothes that he had on.
Now Odysseus is in Threspotia, quite near
He promises her husband will be home within the year.
Then he has his feet washed by the nurse Eurykleia
But she recognises him from an old hunting scar!
He was wounded when he was a young man, by a boar
Eurykleia promises the secret she'll ignore
Penelope plans to stage an archery contest
She'll marry the suitor who can shoot the bow the best!
