Odysseus, once again, gets a ship and destroys it. The Princess and the King get a ship ready for Odysseus so he can return home (again!). His (new) men rowed him back and dumped him off at shore while he was sleeping. He was not aware he was on his own shore and panicked! Athene told him he was home and his castle was near. She then made herself known to him in her true form! She lead him to his garden keeper's home and hid herself. He became a beggar, so he was not endangered by the suitors. A plan was formulated and Odysseus, now a beggar, went home.
