Athena Through Book XVII

At this point, I have led Odysseus in to his house and I am teeming with excitement at the inevitable vengeance he will take on the suitors. After all of these years of the suitors wasting away his home, he is so close to killing all of those who are disrespectful and restoring his house to its former glory.  I have already reunited him with Telemachus, and their reunion elated me. For father and son to reunite after 20 years is something so heartwarming. It is only a matter of time before I will daze the suitors, transform Odysseus from a beggar into his royal self, and watch the suitors killed at the mighty hands of Odysseus and Telemachus. No longer will Penelope live in sorrow and no longer will she have to put up with the leeching suitors. Husband and wife will reunite and rule Ithaca and restore it to its illustrious glory. I am so anxious for Odysseus to take revenge on the suitors, but I know that we must follow our plan. However, the very second that it is right, I will transform Odysseus from a beggar wearing rags into his glorified self. With fire in his eyes and a royal cloak on his back, he will kill the suitors who have bothered his house for years. After 20 years of absence he will reunite with Penelope and reward those who were loyal to him. I am purely elated at the impending conquest of Odysseus and I cannot wait!
