How does Eurymachus infuriate Odysseus?

Well, first of all, Eurymachus participated in the consumption of Odysseus' food and drink. He tried to steal his wifey and schemed to murder his son, Telemachus. He was the second worst of all the suitors, Antinous being the first. After Odysseus had killed Antinous, then Eurymachus tried to blame everything on him. He told him that they could pay Odysseus back for the food and drink consumption. Basically, he was lying and dishonoring Odysseus, which was a big no-no to ancient Grecians. So, Odysseus shot him bulls-eye in the nipple with an arrow. He was the 2nd to die. Haha, stinks for him.:)
