Odysseus and Penelope join each other in bed to get reacquainted after being apart for twenty years.  Odysseus tells of his travels and Penelope tells of the suitors.  Athena even makes the night last longer so they can spend as much time together in bed as possible, because the next day Odysseus must leave and travel to the mainland on another one of his adventures.

Teiresias has told him to travel to the mainland with an ore until he meets men who have never seen the sea.  Once there he must offer a ram, bull, and a buck to Poseidon. Although he does not know how long it will take, he told Penelope he will come home to her again (XXIII ln 271-283).
