The meeting is the following day. One of the first to speak is the elder of them all, he tells Telemachus that he is not ready to step into his father shoes and that it's too big of a task for him to go on this expedition. He is disappointed how the suitors show no or little respect for his mother Penelope and his father Odysseus. The suitors blame Penelope for seducing them but not committing, Penelope says she will commit when she is completely finished making a shroud. But every night she undoes the hat that she has made to stall the suitors, it is suggested that she is to be taken to her father who is to decide who will marry Penelope. Telemachus is angered by this and calls a goddess, to eagles than come and give him a deciphered as a eminent return of his father. The suitors are not buying it though.
