May 14: The Odyssey

Minutes: 45

Pages: ?

Summary: Odysseus is disguised as an old man and he infiltrates the courtyard posing as one who just wants some food . He gets noticed and challenged to a contest, the winner of which gets Penelope. The contest is too shoot an arrow through the handles of a number of axes, a seemingly impossible feat. The suitors use the bow that was Odysseus' to begin with and so when it comes his turn, he feels it out and gets comfortable as he would with his own bow. He takes the shot and, being aided by Athena, it carries through to the other side. Now they want to know who this old man is.

Reflection: Here it comes.
