Antinous and Eurymachus.
The two main head suitors in The Odyssey are Antinous and Eurymachus. They are the most aggressive and prominent among the suitors competing for Penelope's hand in marriage.
Eurymachus, an Ithacan nobleman and the son of Polybus, was, by the reckoning of the goddess Athena, one of the two leading suitors of Penelope in the Odyssey,
Telemachus is a barrier between them and Penelope. Telemachus insults the suitors in the first two books of the Odyssey, and threatens to eventually kill them. If Telemachus is dead, then there will be no man in the house. Penelope will be forced to marry. Further, it is easier to kill him before he is full grown.

Iliads and the odyssey
In the Odyssey Penelope has two main suitors, Antinous and Eurymachus. Antinous is more violent and the favourite to win her hand, whereas Eurymachus is more oily, I'd say Antinous was the more forceful of the two.
odysseus is a very smart person and he is a great warrior and those two things could be majorly because of Athena, the god of war and wisdom. when Odysseus finally gets back to his home but the suitors are there Athena turns his appearance into a beggar so that he can go into his house and mingle with the suitors
Two characters who contrast with Odysseus in "The Odyssey" are the suitors, who represent arrogance, greed, and disrespect, and Penelope, who embodies patience, loyalty, and cunning. The suitors' behavior highlights Odysseus's noble qualities, while Penelope's steadfastness serves as a counterpoint to Odysseus's long journey and trials.
There are two seers mentioned in that work. First, there is the dead seer Tiresias of Thebes visited in the underworld by Odysseus. Secondly, there is Theoclymenus, who arrives at Odysseus' castle and predicts that all the unwanted suitors are about to die.
The two main suitors in Odysseus' house are Antinous and Eurymachus. They are both prominent members of the group of suitors vying for Penelope's hand in marriage during Odysseus' absence.
Halitherses appears in book 2 of the Odyssey; he is the best prophet of the group gathered at that time. After Telemachus makes a speech insisting that the suitors leave or they will eventually die in the house, Zeus sends two eagles soaring from the mountains as a sign. The eagles wheel and circle directly over the suitors, fighting fiercely and tearing each other, before flying into town. Halitherses reads this as a sign that everything that Telemachus has said is true: Odysseus will soon return and have vengeance on all the suitors. He thus encourages the suitors to leave as well. Sadly, he is ignored by the suitors, particularly Eurymachus who rebukes him for his interpretation and suggestion. Later, after all the suitors have been killed and the suitor's families have gathered for revenge, he warns the families against taking action against Odysseus. Medon implies that the killings were the will of the gods. Halitherses warns the families that if they go against Odysseus, they will bring evil upon themselves. Only half of them listen.
