Late at night in the palace, the disguised Odysseus is summoned to speak with Penelope. In a tender, layered conversation full of longing and clever testing, husband and wife sit close yet worlds apart. The queen shares her sorrow, while the beggar tells stories that stir her heart. The emotional high point comes when the old nurse Eurycleia recognizes Odysseus by the scar on his thigh — a moment of nearly overwhelming joy kept secret for now. Penelope reveals her plan for the contest of the bow as the tension inside the palace continues to build.
