Summary:  (Caitlyn)
Odysseus cannot sleep, so he asks Athene for advice. She tells him to stop worrying and to go back to sleep. In the morning, Penelope prays to Artemis to take her away from her pain and grieves even more for Odysseus. Then we see a scene with women in the mills praying for the suitors demise. After this, Odysseus comes on by and we meet Eumaeus who tells him how he doesn't like his style of begging. Odysseus tells the cowherd that the Suitors would be destroyed. The suitors are realizing they cannot kill Telemachus because of an omen. Then Ctseippus throws a cow hoof at Odysseus. Athene starts to dumb down the Suitors and Theoclumenus realizes what's happening.
