How many years has it been? I can’t believe I am finally home. The king Alcinous and the men who took us here will all receive a helmet of Ithaca as a sign that they are always welcome here. |

I want to see what has happened in my kingdom since I was home. Oh, I forgot to mention I am the king of Ithaca. Let’s dress up as poor fishermen and approach the palace. |

My house is full of suitors for my Penelope. But she is clever, she made them compete for her by shooting from the Bow of Apollo. I must get to the competition. We will have to bribe the guards to let us in. |

None of those fools could string that bow. Only me. I won the contest and it’s time to reveal my true identity to my faithful Penelope. For that, I need my shining armor so let’s visit the smith. |

Now that I am back on my throne, I can help you get home too. I will have a fleet of ships made for you. I hope you have a faithful partner waiting there for you too. |

Nothing compares to the beauty of home. I owe you my thanks for helping me find my way back, and I offer this reward as a sign of my appreciation. Your company was one of the most precious treasures. |
