portent: Athena promises to help Odysseus get rid of the suitors (50-58).
portent: Zeus thunders at Odysseus' prayers, as well as the spinning girl's.
portent: The cowherd greets Odysseus and says how like Odysseus he is. He and the swineherd pray to Zeus about it.
portent: All the suitors and the serving girls arrive.
portent: A suitor throws a hoof at Odysseus (330-341). I don't know entirely what that's about, but it probably made Odysseus rather furious.
portent: Telemachus threatens the suitors (341-381).
portent: The seer Theoclymenus predicts the suitors' death (382-414).
THIS IS GREAT DRAMATIC BUILD-UP. I really felt rather anxious.
