Odysseus blog
When Odysseus was in Troy for 20 years after the war, i think he was thinking that he would never see his wife Penelope or his son ever again. He probably thought that his wife was going to find another husband and live a happy life and forget all about Odysseus. When he was on his way back to Ithaca to go back to his wife and home, he had to think about getting back to his home before his wife married someone else after hes been gone for 20 years. When he returned back to Ithaca, no one believed that he was alive. Even his son. When he talked to his son, his son didn't believe Odysseus when he was saying he was his father. You could tell that Odysseus didn't want anyone to know that he was still alive before he saw Penelope again because if he wanted them to know, he would have told everyone or made a big announcement when he arrived back. He had Athena disguise him as an old man so no one would recongnise him. Time went by when he arrived home and the day that everyone found out that Odysseus was still alive was the day that he killed all the suitors that was trying to take his place as king of Ithaca.
