I'm Back Home Again

I am so glad to finally be home. I don't know why Athena wants me to act as a stranger and do these things when i could just go home.  Seeing my wife and her not recognizing me was really tough.  It's been 20 long years and I finally come home, Telemachus is away in Sparta, Eumaeus thinks I will not return, and my wife does not recognize me.  This is not easy.  I wonder how the ship and crew who brought me home are doing.  I wish to thank them for their kind deed.  I hope to see them again some day.
