Document Summary
Penelope dreams about odysseus and odysseus dreams about penelope. Odysseus was a sign from zeus, which he gets in the form of a slave-girl who prays that the suitors die omen. Theoclymenus has delivered a prophecy to telemachus and one to penelope, but before the suitors he has a vision in which they participate. Apparently theoclymenus killed a guys in his home town and is trying to start over (telemachus is unaware of this) and he brings him home with him. Apocalyptic vision of the suitors covered in blood. We have to suspect that the bow contest will give odysseus his chance, but we do not know how. We know that the suitors will dies, but we do not know how (103 suitors is a lot) We had no way to know that eumaeus and philoctetes would actually want to fight with. Odysseus and telemachus: now they have four people fighting against the suitors.
