Odysseus:
”Oh beloveth Ithaca... the king returned in rags.
You traitors on my throne: my bitter revenge will come!
The king returned! The righteous king returned!
And all of you will die by my hand and I will rule again!”

Melanthios (to Odysseus and Eumaeus):
"Look at you, two of a kind.
Do you mean to cross this precious land?
Scallawags you are!
Stay away from the suitor’s palace
Or you’ll have to dry deep wounds!”

Odysseus (in mind):
”So swear at me! Insult me!
And in the end I will prevail!
Spit into my eyes and hurt me!
‘Cause your deeds I will unveil!
You’ve exploited me and you’ve taunted me
With all of your scorn!”

Eumaeus:
”Daughters of Zeus, nymphs of the holy source!
Let Odysseus return home!
Guarded by a divine one
He will come to judge them for their crimes!”

Melanthios:
”All you gods hear his ridiculous words.
Full of menace they were spoken out.
Shall Apollons bow strike his son to death,
Like the king was striken far from home.”

Odysseus (in mind):
”So swear at me! Insult me!
And in the end I will prevail!
Spit into me eyes and hurt me
‘Cause your deeds I will unveil!
So swear at me! Insult me!
And in the end I will prevail!
You’ve exploited me and you’ve taunted me
But all of your scorn is my gain!”

Odysseus (begging to Antinous):
”My dearest friend, some help I seek
From your archaean hands!
Bless me with a gift and I will spread your praise
Throughout the lands.
‘Cause I was a fortunate man and I gave to those who begged.
But father Zeus took all of my prosperaty
And loaded me with grief.”

Suitors:
”Behold!
Behold!
Behold!”

Antinous:
”Leave this hall you fool!"
Odysseus:
”Your heart is like a stone.”
Antinous:
”Outrageous you behave!”
Odysseus:
”Is mercy unknown to you?”
Antinous:
”Without conscience you are and without conscience you’re done!”
Odysseus:
”My conscience is undefiled!”
Antinous:
”A plague you are, nothing more!”
Odysseus:
”I'm poor and nothing more!”

Odysseus (in mind):
”Let them taunt, let them joke, I will stay patient!
You traitors on my throne, my bitter revenge will come!
Bloody, angry, merciless! I will regain my throne!
United at last with my wife and my son!
My time will come!

”Behold!
Behold!
Behold!
Behold!
Behold!”
