Important things in the chapter: (sarah,Allie) -﻿ why the vagrant is nicknamed the Irus(sarah) -Odysseus wins a fight (Allie)

Summary:(Katie )
In the beginning of the chapter,there is a beggar Irus who Odysseus (in disguise) fights. The winner of the fight gets their choice of goat, and they get to dine with them regularly at dinner. If Irus loses, Antinous told him he would throw him off of the black ship and send him to the mainland of King Echetus the Destroyer, who will have him killed. After Odysseus kills Inus, the suitors thank him for what he has done, they tell him that Zeus and other gods will grant him his dearest wish. Odysseus makes a speech, and Athene tells Penelope to appear in front of the Suitors, and to talk to Telemachus, and she tells Penelope to wash herself before she goes. Athene came up with another idea, to put Penelope into a deep sleep, and made her even more beautiful. She then yells at Telemachus about how he treats his guests with poor hospitality. She tells Eurymachus about what Odysseus had said to her before she left, about when Telemachus gets older, she should marry whom she wants and leave home. The suitors offer their gifts to Penelope, and Odysseus tells the maids to sit with Penelope to cheer her up.
