The other gods break Poseidon's hold and Odysseus, contending against monsters, storms, and minor deities, finally wins home in disguise. There he joins his son and other loyal men to slay the suitors who have oppressed his wife and eaten up his substance. At last he is reunited with his family, and resumes the rule of Ithaca.
