Eurymachus addresses them: "Friends, face up to it; that young pup Telemakhos, has done it; he made the round trip, though we said he could not.Well- now to get the best craft we can find afloat, with oarsmen who can drench her bows, and tell those on the island to come home."

Notes
While O and Eumaeus are making breakfast, T arrives. Eumaeus is very happy that T has reached Ithaca safely, and his feelings are as a father towards a son. T is happy to hear about Penelope and whether she still remains loyal to O or has already wedded another suitor. He meets O, but he doesnt know who he is. O questions T about the suitors and claims that he would have fought them if he had been O's son or O himself. T answers his questions and then asks Eumaeus to go to Penelope and let her know of his safe return. Eumaeus thinks that it would be good to let Laertes know as well. T agrees and asks the swineherd to tell Penelope to send a maid with this news to Laertes. Eumaeus leaves for the city.
Athena comes to the beggar O and touches him with her golden wand to bring him back to his earlier form. T is amazed at the metamorphosis and believes this stranger to be a god. O convinces him that he is not a god but is his father. There is a tearful reunion, and then father and son discuss the transgressions of the suitors and how they might be punished. Meanwhile, T's ship reaches the city and both T's herald and the swineherd together reach Penelope's place. The swineherd informs Penelope of T's arrival and the suitors are confused to learn that he is safe. Antinous comes back with his ship and tells his men that some god must have helped T in escaping death.
The suitors have a discussion of what to do about T. Penelope comes with them to try and convince Antinous not to kill her son. Eurymachus convinces her that T will come to no harm, but, in truth, he himself is plotting her son's death. She retires to her chamber. In the evening, Eumaeus comes back to O and his son, by that time Athena has already disguised O as a beggar again. T hears the plans of the suitors, but Eumaeus can only tell him about one of their ships that he had seen in the harbor. They then eat their supper together and go to sleep.
