Now that the suitors have left, Telemachus hides the weapons, and Penelope invites the beggar, Odysseus, to finally chat. Upon their first encounter, Penelope wishes to know of the Odysseus' whereabouts, but he refuses to speak of the matter, and insists that it is because it brings him hardships. After some conversation, Odysseus finally reveals his false past, and introduces himself as Aethon. Penelope knows that Odysseus claims he's seen the man himself, so she tests him, and asks what he was wearing when they encountered each other. Odysseus replies perfectly, and Penelope broke down in tears. After offering him a bath, Eurycleia, the nurse, notices Odysseus' scar on his leg. He had received it after hunting a boar with his cousins. Eurycleia immediately recognizes him, but Odysseus insists that she must keep it to herself. After the bath, Penelope describes a dream she had, about an eagle swooping down on her geese, and how the eagle said it was Odysseus swooping down on the suitors. Odysseus tries to explain it to her, but Penelope insists that it is simply an untrustworthy dream. Penelope, still insistent on marrying, comes up with a game to choose which suitor she will marry, a game that involves a shooting contest.
