Penelope has told her haughty suitors that she’ll choose
Between them when her weaving is complete, but it’s a ruse!
For what she weaves in daylight, at night she soon unravels
She still expects Odysseus to come back from his travels.
It seems, though, that the suitors have discovered they’ve been tricked
It’s made them more determined that they’ll stay ‘til one’s been picked.
Telemachus appeal for them to leave falls on deaf ears
And Halitherses’ prophecy then fails to raise their fears
It’s time, then, for Telemachus to start his research trip
He has help from Athene, who provides his crew and ship
