To the palace now Eumaios and his guests decamp
Telemachus first, Odysseus still as a tramp
His dog Argos knows his master and he wags his ears
then he dies – they had been apart for nineteen years!
Odysseus begs the suitors that he may be fed
Most of them are generous and give him meat and bread
Only Antinous won’t, his anger makes him bolder
He throws a footstool at the beggar, hits him in the shoulder!
