"Telemachus, insolent braggart that you are, how dare you try to throw the blame upon us suitors? It is your mother's fault not ours, for she is a
very artful woman. This three years past, and close on four, she had been driving us out of our minds, by encouraging each one of us, and sending
him messages without meaning one word of what she says. And then there was that other trick she played us. She set up a great tambour frame in
her room, and began to work on an enormous plece of fine needlework. 'Sweet hearts,' said she, "Ulysses is indeed dead, still do not press me to
marry again immediately, wait--for I would
not have skill in needlework perish unrecorded—till I have completed a pall for the hero Laertes, to be in
readiness against the time when death shall take him. He is very rich, and the women of the place will talk if he is laid out without a pall.'
"This was what she said, and we assented; whereon we could see her working on her great web all day long, but at night she would unpick the
stitches again by torchlight. She fooled us in this way for three years and we never found her out, but as time wore on and she was now in her fourth
year, one of her maids who knew what she was doing told us, and we caught her in the act of undoing her work, so she had to finish it whether she
would or no. The suitors, therefore, make you this answer, that both you and the Achaeans may understand-'Send your mother away, and bid her
marry the man of her own and of her father's choice'; for I do not know what will happen if she goes on plaguing
us much longer with the airs she
gives herself on the score of the accomplishments Minerva has taught her, and because she is so clever. We never yet heard of such a woman, we
know all about Tyro, Alcmena, Mycene, and the famous women of old, but they were nothing to your mother any one of them. It was not fair of her
to treat us in that way, and as long as she continues in the mind with which heaven has now endowed her, so long shall we go on eating up your
estate, and I do not see why she should change, for she gets all the honour and glory, and it is you who pay for it, not she. Understand,
then that we
will not go back to our lands. neither here nor elsewhere, till she has made her choice and married some one or other of us."
