Book 20: Feast away

This chapter didn't start well for me. I saw a few women going off to the suitor's room and that got me really angry. But I held myself together. After that I couldn't fall asleep either. At least until Athena came and and comforted me. Something told me that the situation was a little like neurosis. I couldn't fall asleep until I talked to somebody about what I was feeling and thinking about. I then prayed to Zeus for a sign to show me whether the time has come to kill the suitors. He gave me a positive sign ad that made me happy too. That guy named Melanthios made fun of me again. But a man named Philoitios was nice to me and I liked him. Then the suitors had another feast and a suitor threw a cow foot at me. They are so mean and stupid. Telemakhos then came up to the plate and stopped the trouble. Another one of the suitors gave this long speech about how everybody shoud just give up hope of me returning home. I then went to the home of Peiraios. I was greetd kindly. I can't wait to give those suitors what they deserve.

I think that Telemakhos showed, once again, that he is growing up by ending the violence that the suitors were giving his father. Normally, people would just sit there and stare when a large mass of people were throwing stuff and insulting their father.
