Ithica Saga
Back on Ithaca, Penelope sees Poseidon's storm off the coast as a sign of Odysseus's return. She presents her suitors with a nearly impossible challenge: whichever of them can re-string Odysseus's old bow and shoot an arrow through the heads of twelve axes will win her hand in marriage and the throne of Ithaca. Soon realizing that Penelope has no intention of letting any of them take the throne, Antinous rallies the suitors to murder Telemachus and rape Penelope, before he is suddenly killed by an arrow. The shooter reveals himself to be Odysseus, newly returned home and enraged by the suitors' actions and plan. Odysseus quickly massacres the rest of the suitors and ignores their pleas for mercy. Telemachus discovers and joins in as well. After the slaughter, Telemachus and Odysseus reunite and begin to reconnect, before Telemachus leaves to tell his mother of Odysseus's return. Athena then reappears to Odysseus, wondering if a kinder and more peaceful world could ever exist, with Odysseus deciding that she can help to create it, although he will likely not live long enough to see it. In Penelope's bedchamber, Odysseus finally reunites with his wife. He claims to not be the same person that left her twenty years earlier. Penelope tests him by asking him to move their wedding bed, which only he knew is rooted into the ground, and she proclaims that as long as he remains her husband, she will never stop loving him.
