You tell Penelope to come here with her attendant women. Order that the female slaves come into the house.

But come, I will bring you clothes, a cloak and a shirt so that you don't have to stand in the feast-hall with your broad shoulders wrapped in rags. This is hardly appropriate.

Eurykleia makes Odysseus a suggestion:

But he doesn't. Eurykleia commands the women to come into the feast-hall.

They came forth from their hall carrying torches in their hands. They swarmed around Odysseus and embraced him, and they kissed his head and shoulders and hands in loving welcome.

It must have been dark by now. Eurykleia went into the upper chamber to tell her mistress that her dear husband was within the house.
