Nostos

"But the royal couple, once they'd reveled in all the longed-for joys of love, reveled in each other's stories, the radiant woman telling of all she'd borne at home, watching them there, the infernal crowd of suitors slaughtering the herds of cattle an good fat sheep - while keen to win her hand - draining the broached vats dry of vintage wine."

- The Odyssey Book 23, Page 465

Odysseus finally gets his homecoming.
