Answer:

Penelope.

Step-by-step explanation:

After he returned to Ithaca Oddyseus disguise as a beggar in order to avoid being recognized by PenelopeĀ“s suitors, who wanted to kill him.

Athena incited Penelope to carry out the competition for her hand, they must string Odysseus's bow and shoot it through a dozen ax heads. Any of the suitors is unable to perform those tasks but Oddyseus as a beggar accomplished and then killed them all. He finally identifies him to Penelope. She recognizes him after he mentions that he made their bed from an olive tree still rotted to the ground.

I hope this answer helps you.

Penelope, his wife, is the last person to know of Odysseus's return.
He wanted to surprise her after so many years.
