Penelope's Test
Hey Odysseus here. I am home at last. Finally I'm not in disguise anymore. Penelope tested me by saying she was going to have the nurse move my bead outside the bed chamber. I thought no one could move that bed, unless a god came down to turn the trick. No one on there best day could move that bed with a crowbar.
Penelope is so glad it was me she says, "no one ever matched your caution! Think what difficulty the gods gave: hey denied us life together in our prime and flowering years, kept us from crossing age together." She then told me no other man has laid eyes on my bed only her own slave, Actoris, that her father sent her as a gift she kept our door. Not many people can survive a boat wreck and live on a piece of the fallen apart boat. She to know rejoices me. 
That was a wild way to get home. It was hard without my men but I knew I would make it with out them. If they wouldn't of killed the cattle they could probably still be here. Well now that i am home I think I will be done with blogging. well at least for awhile. Until next time.
