Summary:  (EB)
The suitors are led to Hades where they are questioned why they are there and how could some many men be there at the same time. Amphimedon blames the death of the suitors on Penelope for not making a decision fast enough. While all of this is going on, Odysseus had to go travel to Laetres' farm along with his servants. Once they get there, he tells his servants to go into the house so that he and his father can be alone in the gardens. At first Odysseus is under cover and notices that Laetres has changed. He has aged so much from missing his wife and son. Once Odysseus shows himself Laetres does not believe him but he proves that it is him by the scar and by the fruit trees.
