No. Though Eurymachus attempts to bargain with Odysseus, Odysseus' fury is only satiated by killing them all.
The suitors beg Odysseus for mercy, offering apologies and excuses for their behavior, while attempting to justify their actions by blaming the influence of the gods and their own desires for Penelope. They plead for their lives, promising to repay Odysseus and make amends for their wrongdoings.
Odysseus rebukes her and reminds her not to rejoice in anyone's death.
While Odysseus' revenge can be seen as justified by some due to the wrongs he suffered at the hands of the suitors, others might argue that the extent of the violence and bloodshed he unleashed goes beyond what is morally acceptable. The ethical justification of his revenge is subjective and depends on individual perspectives on justice and retribution.
Odysseus killed the suitors with the bow that Iphitusonce had given him. He had inherited it from his father Eurytus of Oechalia, who in turn had received it from Apollo. This bow Odysseus, when going to war, would never take with him, but let it lay at home.During the contest to string the bow, the swineherd Eumaeus brings Odysseus his bow, after prompting from Odysseus, then Penelope, then Telemachus.
He tells him to go home and wait for his fathers arrival as a beggar. He warns Telemachus not to interfere if the suitors are rise but to wait for the signal to hide all the weapons except his own. He also reminds Telemachus not to let any one know that he has returned.
All kinds of people/things. And everyone who went with him died. Let's go with.... The cyclops.
In my opinion it was not excessive at all. The maids turned against the queen in his absence, how could he ever trust them again? If he let them go they would surely spread the news of the suitors deaths, which is much too risky. As for the suitors...they were selfish, rude, and greedy. The God's had apparently marked them for death anyway so it was their time.
When Odysseus and his men saw Ithaca, Odysseus' men decided to open the sack of winds that Aeolus, the king of winds, gave them. This let out a storm that drove them back to Aeolia. Aeolus decided the gods hated Odysseus and his men and casted them out. Odysseus wanted for many years, hoping to return home. He did not give up. In Ithaca, Odysseus was determined to reclaim his "throne" or position in Ithaca and fought all the suitors who were living in his house.
Athena, begged Zeus to tell Calypso to let Odysseus go.. He sends Hermes or Mercury the Messenger God to deliver the message. She then lets Odysseus go.
Hermes tells Calypso to let Odysseus go.
Poseidon let's Odysseus live because it is the will of Zeus and the other gods that Odysseus eventually be fated to return home. Poseidon dares not go up against the fates.
She loves Odysseus and wants to keep him on her island, but Zeus wants her to let Odysseus go.
