All of the Greek heroes prepare for the telling of a story, while Odysseus is stuck on an island while Calypso refuses to let him leave due to her love for him. She also turns his entire crew into pigs... While suitors all try to marry Penlope and acquire the kingdom, she continues waiting for Odysseus. His son Telemachus believes his father is now dead. Athena while disguised as Mentes, tells Telemachus to banish each suitor from the castle. Telemachus sees his upset mother and tells her not to listen to the music because she doesn't have to. After Telemachus is told by Mentes who he suspects is a goddess to banish them, he informs tomorrow they will be banished and two suitors ask who he talked to, but he informs them that it was a friend of his father.
