Answer and Explanation:
In the epic poem "The Odyssey", by Homer, the hero Odysseus takes many years to return home after fighting in the Trojan War. Upon arriving at his island to finally be rejoined with his family, he is disguised as a beggar by the goddess Athena. Odysseus finds his wife is being harassed by several suitors, who insist she must marry one of them. Odysseus defeats all of them in a battle, but Penelope does not recognize him and, for that reason, treats him coldly. He reveals who he is but she is still not convinced. To test him, she mentions moving their marital bed from their bedroom. Odysseys then says he built that bed around the trunk of a tree, so the bed cannot be moved. Only then Penelope recognizes and welcomes back her husband.
