Penelope:
"Listen all you suitors. It is time to test your abilities with a little contest. The man who wins will take me as their wife.
This is my husband, Odysseus', bow. It was given to him by the archer Iphitus. My husband would show his skills by setting up 12 axeheads in a line and shoot an arrow through all 12.
The man who can string the bow and make the same shot will win me over and I will become your wife."

Telemachus then attempts to string the bow and he is unable to do it. He then says,"I can't do it. Let anther man try and string it." So all the suitors attempted to string the bow but they were unable to do it as well.(While all of this is going on Odysseus disguised as a beggar is watching the whole time unnoticed.)

Odysseus then comes in, disguised a a beggar, and tells two of his serving men that he is not just any old beggar. He is Odysseus.They didn't believe him at first. He showed them the scar on his thigh to prove that he is who he says he is. Then they bowed at his feet and told them not to tell anyone.
