Eumaeus
Oh those nasty suitors are being so horrible to that poor old beggar. One suitor even threw a ox hoof at him, nearly missing him. They are making me so angry the way they treat him. Oh I wish my great master would come home once again to his native land and kill the lot of these terrible suitors who steal from his kingdom.
Penelope is now having a contest who can string Odysseus' bow and make it through 12 axes. The sight of my masters bow made me sob. I miss him more than my heart can bear. I have remained faithful all of these years and I will never stop being faithful to my master.
Today was the greatest day of my whole entire life! Odysseus reveled himself as the beggar! It was him all along! I started to cry and kiss him. My master was finally home! My previous sorrowful heart now bursts with joy! He sent me to carry the bow to him and to tell all the serving women to lock themselves in their room and don't come out no matter what. He told the cow herder, Philoetius, who was also faithful to Odysseus all these years, to go lock the courthouse outer gate.
Death of the suitors is nearing I can feel it in the air.
