The Odyssey BOOK XVII / BOOK XVIII / BOOK XIX / BOOK XX; lines 8864-8959 confidence: high
At daybreak Ulysses hears Penelope weeping, thinks she seems to know him, gathers up his cloak and fleeces, takes the bullock’s hide outside, lifts his hands to heaven, and asks Father Jove for a sign from inside the house and another from outside.
