• Dear Diary, 
  

I have only a few words left to say. My great adventure is over. Odysseus is in his rightful place as king. All polished up and clean. He has but one mission left, to prove he is Odysseus to the one he cares most for Penelope. Penelope was reluctant to believe he is Odysseus. She remembered his appearance by how he looked back when he boarded the ship for Troy. He proves himself to her, by mentioning their secret. The secret of how he made her bed from an old trunk of and olive tree, and how it could never be moved by a mortal. She then recognized Odysseus for who he truly is. She told him of her love for him, and he needn’t say it too. For his love was impossible to miss. So they hugged. They hugged for what seemed to be an eternity!!
