Telemicas and the Beggar

And just like that, Odysseus' body began to shake. It wasn't from fear, or even happiness at being reunited with his son. No, this was the work of Athena. She had transformed him back into his true form. He recognized his father immediately. Father! He said with a gasp, you're home. I am.
