Wikipedia Poem, No. 706

“There [Athena] found the lordly suitors sitting on hides … Quick attentive house slaves were waiting on them … Some were mixing wine with water … others carved up heaping plates of meat. … Telemachus was sitting with them, feelings dejected. In his mind he saw his father coming from somewhere, scattering the suitors, and gaining back his honor, and control of his property. With this in his mind, he was the first to see Athena there.” The Odyssey, trans. Emily Wilson
