  1. “Do You Know Where Your Husband Is?” By: Wei Du

  2. First Reaction “Dear nurse… the gods have touched you.” – Penelope (23: 11)

  3. Penelope’s Belief “But the true person of Odysseus? He lost his home, he died far from Akhaia.” – Penelope (23: 74 – 75)

  4. Skeptical Penelope And she, for a long time, sat deathly still in wonderment – for sometimes as she gazed she found him – yes, clearly – like her husband, but sometimes blood and rags were all she saw. – (23: 105 – 108)

  5. Penelope’s Doubts “I could not welcome you with love on sight! I armed myself long ago against the frauds of men, imposters who might come – and all those many whose underhanded ways bring evil on!” – Penelope (23: 241 – 245)

  6. Penelope’s Test “If really he is Odysseus, truly home, beyond all doubt we two shall know each other better than you or anyone. There are secret signs we know, we two.” – Penelope (23: 122 – 125)

  7. Odysseus’ Answer “There’s our sign! I know no more. Could someone else’s hand have sawn that trunk and dragged the frame away?” – Odysseus (23: 228 – 300)

  8. Couple’s Reunion …and so she too rejoiced, her gaze upon her husband, her white arms round him pressed as though forever. – (23: 269 – 270)

  9. The End
