Lucius (now a ghost):
King Alcinous helps Odysseus find his way home. When he gets home he finds his palace over run by many suitors who believe Odysseus is dead and have the desire to marry Penelope and take over his fortune. Odysseus disguises himself as a beggar, and is reunites himself with his son. Penelope has proposed a contest to determine who she shall marry. In order to marry her one must string Odysseus bow and shoot it through twelve axeheads. Many men try and fail and than Odysseus still dressed as a beggar is given the chance to string the bow. After he does so he shoots the arrow cleanly through the axeheads. After surprising everyone he takes off his disguise.
