"Quickly, press Menelaus, lord of the warcry,
to speed you home at once, if you want to find
your irreproachable mother still inside your house.
Even now her father and brothers urge Penelope
to marry Eurymachus, who excels all other suitors
at giving gifts and drives the bride-price higher."
– Homer
The Odyssey, Book 15, lines 16-21. Athena flies to Lacedaemon to urge Telemachus to return to Ithaca. She tells him that his mother Penelope is on the point of remarrying Eurymachus. She reveals that it is union supported by Penelope’s father and brothers, because Eurymachus gives the best gifts.
