Odysseus who was dressed up as an old beggar told Penelope that Odysseus was alive and would return soon
True. In the epic poem "The Odyssey," Odysseus, disguised as a beggar, tells Penelope that her husband is alive and well, but has not returned home yet. Penelope is skeptical at first but eventually believes him.
Odysseus tells her so directly. Penelope then tests Odysseus, and he passes her test, confirming his identity.
Penelope tells Eurycleia to move the bed, Odysseus responds by saying that is impossible because he has made the bed around the Olive tree.
Although Eurycleia is considered Odysseus' mistress, she tells Penelope that her husband is home from Troy
In Homer's Odyssey, the beggar Odysseus relays a message to Penelope through Eumaeus that Odysseus will soon return and reclaim his home from the suitors. This message serves as a sign of hope and reassurance to Penelope, affirming that Odysseus is alive and on his way back to her.
Yes, he's married to Penelope. Odysseus and Penelope have a son, Telemachus. Odysseus tells Penelope, "You must promise me, if I don't come back by the time Telemachus has a beard, you must marry." Penelope promises. Odysseus, still alive after 20 years, comes back to Ithaca to find suitors (men who are trying to marry Penelope) all over his home. Penelope knew he was still alive after 20 years, but people kept telling her he was dead. Suitors are very mean. Athena discuises Odysseus as an old beggar, and he, and telemachus go to their house. Penelope doesn't know it's odyssus. she tells Odysseus (the "beggar") that he still loves Odysseus and promised that she'd marry when telemachus had a beard. he had a beard now. so she held a contest to pick a husband. the contest was to string Odysseus's box & shoot an arrow through 12 ax handles. all the suitors failed to string the bow. Odysseus, the beggar, strung the box, and shot it through the 12 ax handles. he, and telemachus, killed the suitors. Athena turned Odysseus back into his old self after he killed the suitors. Penelope didn't know if it was really Odysseus, so she told the maids to remove their bed from their tree & into another room. Odysseus got mad, since right after he left for troy, he built their house & bed around a tree. Their bed was basically their symbol. Penelope then realized it was really Odysseus. Penelope & Odysseus were then reunited with each other again. Hope I helped! (:
While Odysseus is away from Ithaca, several of the lords and chiefs are heading over to where Odysseus has built his home because they believe that their King is dead. The begin to try and get Penelope to marry them and anger Telemachus who believes that his father is still alive. Athena eventually comes and tells Telemachus that his father is in fact still alive and then tells him what he must do to get the suitors to leave.
Penelope tells Anticlea to move her and Odysseus' bed to a guest room, knowing full well that the bed cannot be moved without damaging it severely.
Agamemnon the ghost, tells Odysseus how he died, and also warns Odysseus not to blindly trust his wife Penelope when he arrives home.
He tells a childhood story that only he would know.
The beggar tells Penelope a false story about meeting Odysseus and receiving news of his return. He claims to have met Odysseus and that he will soon return to reclaim his house and wife. Penelope later tests the beggar by asking for details about Odysseus, which the beggar fails to provide accurately.
He tells her about their bed and how its made out of the olive tree and immovable. Only something that Odysseus and her knew.
