to send him to Echetus, the maimer of all men
The suitors considered Antinous ungracious for treating the beggar so poorly and warned Antinous that if the beggar were really a god, then Antinous might suffer some ill fate.
Antinous is wooing his wife Penelope. Also, Antinous is rude, obnoxious, and treats Odysseus poorly. When Odysseus is a beggar asking for food, Antinous not only gives him no food, but also throws a foot stool at him. Antinous also earlier previously encouraged Irus the beggar to fight Odysseus.
Antinous seems to have an air of self-importance, and believes he is far better than a beggar. For a beggar to even talk to him is considered an insult to him.
Antinous is warned that Odysseus, the wandering beggar, may actually be a god in disguise.

Antinous never wants to kill Odysseus, because he never realizes Odysseus is still alive. He may have wanted to kill the beggar, whom is Odysseus in disguise, but is prevented from doing so by honour and Telemachus' threats. Odysseus as a beggar begs from Antinous and curses him when Antinous refuses impolitely. He does want to marry Penelope, Odysseus' wife.
