·Reported

Penelope reported Antinous’s footstool as physically present in the banqueting-cloister assault.

See evidence text

“Now when Penelope heard that the beggar had been struck in the banqueting-cloister, she said before her maids, ‘Would that Apollo would so strike you, Antinous,’ and her waiting woman Eurynome answered, ‘If our prayers were answered not one of the suitors would ever again see the sun rise.’ Then Penelope said, ‘Nurse, {147} I hate every single one of them, for they mean nothing but mischief, but I hate Antinous like the darkness of death itself. A poor unfortunate tramp has come begging about the house for sheer want. Every one else has given him something to put in his wallet, but Antinous has hit him on the right shoulder-blade with a footstool.’ ”
