the suitors are the men who come to "woo" penelope, Odysseus' wife and Telemachus' mother, and try to get her to marry them. they're very rude because they take advantage of staying in Odysseus' castle
they eat all his food and everything :/

actually, it's The Odyssey. The suitors are people who have come to stay with Odysseus and have overstayed their welcome while breaking xenia.
