Summary
Astyanax has stopped whimpering by the time they reach the shores of Ithaca. A crowd has gathered on the beaches, cheering and making music. Odysseus can see Penelope at the front of the crowd, her hair blowing this way and that in the breeze. Tucked on her side, probably too big to really be carried anymore but this occasion is special, is Telemachus, who stares at the ship with a gap-tooth smile.
Despite everything, Odysseus feels his whole body relax at the familiar feeling of the ship scraping the sand beneath it.
Penelope's eyes meet his and then trail down to the small child in his arms. He realizes how this must look.

Odysseus saves Astyanax, the gods are cruel, and Penelope is the best wife.
