How did Penelope try to trick suitors at first by weaving a shroud? She said she would marry one of them once she had woven the shroud, but at night she unravelled part of it. Edit
Penelope retrieves Odysseus' great bow from the storeroom and her maids bear axe heads into the main hall. Penelope explains the game: whoever can string her husband's bow and shoot an arrow through the twelve axeheads will marry her. Telemachus gives it a try first; he is unable to string the bow three times. Other suitors fail to string the bow. Meanwhile, Odysseus follows Eumaeus and Philoitios outside and reveals his true identity to them, using his scar as proof. After they swear loyalty to him, he instructs them to give him the bow and lock the door when the time comes. Back in the hall, Eurymakhos fails with the bow, and Antinous suggests they postpone the contest, make a sacrifice tomorrow to Apollo, god of archers, and try again. Odysseus asks to try the bow, but Antinous threatens him not to. Penelope insists the beggar be allowed the opportunity; if he succeeds, she will give him clothing and other gifts. Telemachus sends her to her room, and then orders Eumaeus to give Odysseus the bow.
