- "And now, pulling the bow for the fourth time he would have strung it, but Odysseus stopped him, though he was eager, making a signal with his head." (pg. 312) - "Let the bow be for the time, give it over to the divinities, and tomorrow the good will give success to whomever he wishes; but come now, give me the well polished bow, so that among you I may try out my strength and hands to see if I still have force in my flexible limbs as there have been in time past or whether my wondering and lack of good care have ruined me." - "Circumspect Eurykleia, Telemachos wants you to bar the tightly fitted doors that close the house; and then, if any of you hear from inside the crash and the outcry of men who are caught within our toils you must not peep in from outside, but simply sit still at your work, in silence." (pg. 319) - "Penelope was waiting for Odysseus to come home." (pg. 321) - "Odysseus is a begger fighting for his home." (pg. 322) - "When Odysseus finally gets hame, he kills all of the suitors." (pg. 323)
