Summary:  (Emily)
The chapter starts out with Odysseus still in disguise with Telemachus in the palace. They set out to collect all of the weapons with the excuse that they were tarnishing and were a hazard when the suitors were drunk. Then Odysseus meets with Penelope and talks about life at the palace and her constant soap-opera. They talked about Odysseus' fake story of his homeland and knowing Odysseus etc. Then Eurychleia the nurse washed Odysseus' feet, found a scar from when he was boar-hunting a long time ago and freaked out. Odysseus made her swear to secrecy about his identity, and then went to bed.
