Summary:  (Madison)
 Athena goes to Telemachus and tells him that he needs to return home because the suitors are going to use up everything he has and destroy his property without him there, and that Penelope will remarry and take Telemachus's stuff with her to her new home. She warns him about the suitors plot to kill him, and that he should sail away from the islands until he reached home, he should then go visit the swineherd. Menelaus gives him a wrought metal bowl and Helen gives him a robe for his future wife. An eagle, with a white goose flying on its talons flew overhead as Telemachus was leaving. Menelaus said it was an omen that like the bird, Odysseus would return home, after many hardships and get revenge, or he is already there planning his attack. Telemachus took a chariot along with Nestor to Pylos where he met his crew and Telemachus boarded his ship for home. When he was about to leave Theoclymenus came and told Telemachus that he was a runaway from Argos, because he murdered someone. He asked if he could join Telemachus on his ship, Telemachus agreed. Odysseus decides to leave the Swineherd and go to the city. He is planning on begging and talking to Penelope. Eumaeus tries to get him to stay, and tells him that if he goes to the suitors he will be in danger. Odysseus agrees to stay until the prince comes back. He asks to hear stories of his parents. Eumaeus tells Odysseus how his father hopes to die because of the loss of his son, and the death of his wife. He also tells the story about how he was brought up by Odysseus' mother along with Odysseus' sister Ctimene. They were treated as equals, but when Ctimene was married off, Eumaeus was given a cloak and shoes and was sent to work on the farm. Eumaeus then told Odysseus the story of how he ended up with his family. Eumaeus lived in Syrie, he was the son of a wealthy king. One of the king's slaves left with the Phoenicians and in return for her passage, she brought gold, 3 goblets and Eumaeus. The woman died on the ship. Eumaeus was left on Ithaca. Telemachus reaches Ithaca, he tells his men to go into the city while he goes to visit the farms. He tells Theoclymenus to go visit Eurymachus. An eagle with a dove on its talons flies overhead and Theoclymenus says it is an omen that there is no house in Ithaca more royal than that of Telemachus's. Telemachus then decides that he should be taken care of Peiraeus until Telemachus comes back. Telemachus walked to the farm of the Swineherd.
