Once the massacre had ended, only Odysseus, his son and Eumaeus remained. As for me and Brumuthamus, we will not be returning to this world in human form. As of now, we are frolicking with the gods in heaven above. Odysseus changed out of his ratty beggar clothes and went to meet his beloved wife. When he did this, Telemachus even said he thought Odysseus was a god, sent to earth in human form. When Odysseus reached Penelope, he was angered to find that she did not recognize him and didnt believe that he was her true husband, until she mentioned that their bed had been moved. Odysseus knew this was not possible because he had built that bed with his own two mighty hands into the trunk of an olive tree. He knew, because of this, the bed could not be moved. At that moment Penelope looked into this once beggar's eyes and saw her loving husband, Odysseus had finally returned home.
