In an last-ditch effort to stave off the myriad of suitors seeking her hand, she states that she will only marry the man who can string Odysseus' bow and put a single arrow to the shafts of 12 axes (something only an epic hero could do). After fulfilling this while in disguise, Odysseus reveals himself to his wife. Fearing that it may be a god in disguise, she decides to test him. She tells her servant to move the bed that's in their chambers. But Odysseus knows that the bed can't be moved because one of the legs is a living tree. Penelope accepts him as her husband and they live happily ever after (or so the story goes).
