Dearest Penelope,

After more than ten years of being away from you, it looks like now I might finally be able to come home.  The war is ending, and there are just a few things left to tie up here.  We Greeks do not intend to leave as sore losers.  So I have planned a gift that will appeal to the Trojans’ pride.  With the good help of Athena, we hope they will accept our gift so that we might finally put an end to all this.

Keep your eyes toward the seas.

                              Yours, 

 —Odysseus
