As night falls on the palace, Odysseus begins to put his strategy into motion when the suitors leave for the night. With help of his son Telemachus and his matron Athena, Odysseus secures the weapons. Later, Odysseus finally encounters Penelope-- but while still disguised as a beggar.  The tender moment is punctuated by a dream the Penelope shares with her husband for whom she has long waited, but does not yet recognize.
