Today was a long and challenging day… as a begger. I don’t know how much longer I will be able to fake my identity. As I was bathing today, the old housemaid Eurykleia noticed the unique marking on my knee… it was that of Odysseus. I forbid her from telling anyone who I truly was, for there was still work to be done. My lovely Penelope still doesn’t yet know that I am indeed her Odysseus. But there will be an arching contest to see who will marry her… and I’m confident that it will be an interesting turn of events for the unsuspecting suitors.

Penelope told me about a very peculiar dream… I didn’t quite know what it meant. If it meant anything at all… in fact I wonder if this whole plan is really a great idea. I mean… the suitors have betrayed me and I am angry and want my position back and I’m sure that the gods know that I’m making the right decision… it’s for the good of my family. Telemakhos has his life in danger and Penelope knows that she only truly wants to be with me. So, I don’t know… these are trying times… I just hope that I do the right thing and can look back on it with a smile.

P.S.- Check out this song by a band that Telemakhos is really into right now…
It’s called "Start A War" by: The National.
